Yanela Mbuthuma is set to make his return to the Orlando Pirates’ starting lineup for a crucial match against Orbit College this afternoon. This could be a significant game in the context of the ongoing season.
Mbuthuma was sidelined during last week’s match at Orlando Amstel Arena, where the Pirates faced Durban City, resulting in a goalless draw. In a strategic decision, head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has opted to replace Evidence Makgopa, who started last week, with Mbuthuma.
The Orlando Pirates are currently just three points away from securing the Betway Premiership trophy, sitting at 66 points, which is two points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 3 PM at Mbombela Stadium.
