Orlando Pirates starting XI vs Kaizer Chiefs

Defending Betway Premiership champs Orlando Pirates face Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday. Is this how coach Ouaddou should line up his side?

Likely PIRATES XI vs Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby

Orlando Pirates must do without the dynamic Kamogelo Sebelelele at right-back.

4231: Chaine; Sigomoshe, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto; Mbatha, Mokobodi; Masilela, Kgositsile, Moremi; Makgopa.

Moremi is a favourite for Ouaddou

Against African Stars in the first leg of the CAF Champions League qualifier, Tshepang Moremi made his 50th Pirates appearance under Abdeslam Ouaddou, only the fourth player to achieve the feat after Oswin Appollis, Sipho Chaine and Lebone Seema. He also started the second leg. Pirates won that comfortably to cruise through the tie 5-0 on aggregate. Moremi struck a brace and claimed an assist against Milord FC in a 3-0 Telkom Knockout win midweek, underlining how critical he is to the cause right now. The 26-year-old has six goals and an assist in 10 appearances across all competitions.
