Orlando Pirates will be aiming for their second win in a row when they host Stellenbosch FC in Orlando today. The Soweto giants have had concerns over two stars ahead of the fixture, with Bandile Shandu and Miguel Timm having been substituted early in the previous match against Golden Arrows as a precautionary measure.

The Buccaneers were boosted in their preparations during the week with the return of defender Olisa Ndah to training. Ndah had not featured in a match day so far this year.
“Both players will be in a race against time to be fit for the game against Stellenbosch, while there has also been some positive news in that regard with Olisa Ndah back in training,” said the club in a statement.
Pirates will be looking to build on the impressive 3-1 victory they achieved in the previous match against Golden Arrows. They will be hoping the return of Ndah and the potential return of Shandu and Timm will be enough to secure them a win.
