Recent 2025/26 Form by Key Players to Watch

This Premier League match offers a stage for attacking players from both sides to influence the outcome.

Chippa United – Guided by Musa Nyatama, the club’s offensive play has leaned heavily on Khaya Mfecane, their leading scorer with two goals, and Bandile Dlamini, who has emerged as their chief creator with one assist. Their partnership has been central to Chippa United’s forward play, with additional attacking depth provided by the supporting cast.

Orlando Pirates – Under the tactical direction of Abdeslam Ouaddou, the Buccaneers rely on the finishing ability of Patrick Maswanganyi, who has already registered one goal in the league, and the energetic play of Kamogelo Sebelebele. Deon Hotto leads the team in creativity with one assist, while Lebone Seema and Evidence Makgopa have also made notable contributions, giving Orlando Pirates multiple scoring outlets.

Orlando Pirates injury update

While Deano van Rooyen is still doubtful, the Orlando Pirates have revealed that Olisa Ndah, their former captain, is back in the running following a lengthy injury.

After suffering a tibia and fibula fracture in September 2024, Ndah, 27, was sidelined for the remainder of the Buccaneers season.

The Pirates have now verified that Ndah is cleared to rejoin the team, after head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou’s earlier indication that he would do so shortly.

On its website, the team said, “The impending return of defender Olisa Ndah, who has been back at training while, has boosted Pirates.”

Van Rooyen and Nkosinathi Sibisi, meanwhile, are still unsure.
