WEDNESDAY, 9.20AM:
UMTATA-based Bush Bucks, will be looking to end their hodoo of losing to Orlando Pirates when the two sides meet in a Premier league match at Umtata Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.
Bucks PRO J Magingxa said: “My team is in good form at this stage and we do not want to miss this opportunity of beating Pirates. A win against them will secure our position at the top of the log.”
With Bucks playing their best football in years, Pirates are in for a difficult afternoon at Umtata. Bucks coach Trott Moloto will pin his hopes on on-form Vincent Skhosana to partner lethal striker Wilfred Mugeyi upfront. The game will be won in the middle of the park where Bucks Thabo Mngomeni, John Maduka and Tshepo Tsoane will battle it out against John Moeti, Sam Pam, Brendon Silent and Dumisane Ngobe.
Bruce Ramokhadi is likely to spearhead the Pirates attack with either Andries Sebola, Jerry Sikhosana or Joseph Ngake partnering him.
