Maritzburg United will be determined to prolong Orlando Pirates' winless run when the two teams clash in the PSL encounter at Harry Gwala Stadium on Wednesday.
The Team of Choice recorded their second consecutive defeat in the league when they lost 2-1 to Royal AM away in the KwaZulu-Natal Derby clash on October 3 and they will now face a Pirates side that is desperate for a victory.
The Buccaneers extended their winless run to three matches when they drew 0-0 with Congo-Brazzaville side Diables Noirs in the Caf Confederation Cup match last week Friday and they cannot afford to drop points against a struggling Maritzburg side.
Pirates' co-interim head coaches Fadlu Davids and Mandla Ncikazi know the ins and outs of Maritzburg having both coached the Team of Choice, but they will be up against a more experienced coach in Ernst Middendorp.
The game will be shown live on SuperSport TV
