Orlando Pirates are set to make some changes to their line-up as they
prepare to face Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit All Stars FC in the
Nedbank Cup Last 32 fixture at the Bidvest Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Buccaneers are looking to add a second trophy to their cabinet this
season, having already won the MTN8 in November. However, they will be
without their influential captain Innocent Maela, who is suspended for the
match after picking up his fourth yellow card of the season in their
previous league match against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Pirates have hinted on possible debuts for their January signings
Souaibou Marou and Makhehleni Makhaula, while the likes of Ndumiso Mabena
and Craig Martin could be up for their first starts in the club’s colours.
“The switch to cup football could also present coach José Riveiro with the
opportunity to rotate his squad,” the club said in a statement on their
official website.
The Buccaneers will be hoping for a perfect start in the competition as
they look to go all the way and bag a second trophy this season.
