Stellenbosch forward Devin Titus has been a thorn in the Orlando Pirates side for a few years now.
The last time he played against the Buccaneers at the Orlando Stadium, he scored the only goal as his team handed Pirates their first league defeat of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season.
On Wednesday, the 23-year-old forward returns to the very stadium he silenced thousands of Bucs fans just eight months ago. Both Pirates and Stellies are yet to win a league match after two rounds and will be desperate to turn things around.
Which Orlando Pirates defender will Titus torment?
The Bafana Bafana star is known for his pace and eye for goal and has led Stellenbosch’s attack with the departure of Iqraam Rayners.
Pirates are vulnerable in defence, having conceded every league match this season. It remains to be seen who Abdeslam Ouaddou will field at right-back. Tshepo Mashiloane has been the coach’s preferred right-back for the Buccaneers but the ex-Baroka defender has struggled so far.
If Orlando Pirates start with Mashiloane, Titus might have a good outing in Orlando once again. Oouaddou might also consider ex-stellies captain Deano van Rooyen, who played against Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend.
Will Titus have a good game?
