Orlando Pirates match update: Three new players

Orlando Pirates’ shock 1–0 loss to Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership last weekend didn’t just sting, it raised questions.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is already under the spotlight. Tonight, it gets personal. Marumo Gallants, the team in the opposite dugout, is his former club.

Despite the high pressure, coach Ouaddou could hand out new debuts at the Dr Molemela Stadium.
