2. A possible return for Thembinkosi Lorch
3. On-loan Bucs star Bongani Sam to have an inspired game for Maritzburg
4. Richard Ofori, Miguel Timm, Bandile Shandu, and Fortunate Makaringe to perform against their former club
5. Jose Riveiro to continue with Zakhele Lepasa wide with Eva Nga in the box.
