Caretaker coach Eric Tinkler has opted for a change in formation from the one that beat Chippa United 2-0. He reverts to two strikers, and that means a start up front for Lennox Bacela alongside Kermit Erasmus. Lehlohonolo Majoro is on the bench.
The midfield also has a different look about it, with Lehlohonolo Maselesa getting a rare start alongside Oupa Manyisa. That means Thandani Ntshumayelo and Issa Sarr move to the bench.
Mpho Makola and Sifiso Myeni start out wide, while the defence remains the same and Brighton Mhlongo gets another start in goals.
Pirates XI: Mhlongo, Jele, Mahamutsa, Sangweni, Matlaba, Makola, Masalesa, Manyisa, Myeni, Erasmus, Bacela.
Subs: Zikalala, Gcaba, Nyauza, Ntshuyamelo, Sarr, Rakhale, Majoro
