HOW ORLANDO PIRATES CAN TAKE THE TOP SPOT
With a current third position and two points off leaders AmaZulu, the Sea Robbers will close off Wednesday night at the top of the log if they defeat Gallants, Usuthu loses to Golden Arrows as well a loss for TS Galaxy against Chippa United.
It sounds a bit complicated but three points in the bag can make it all simple.

FIVE THINGS WE EXPECT FROM PIRATES AGAINST GALLANTS
- Some squad rotation from coach Riveiro after five games in three weeks
- The same back three with wing-backs that we’ve seen since the Spaniard started his tenure
- A start for Zakhele Lepasa after unconvincing performances from the likes of Eva Nga and Kwame Preprah upfront
- Paseka Mako to finally get his first start of the season
- Fortune Makaringe to also earn his first appearance in the starting 11.
Will Riveiro’s side mark a third victory in six games? We shall find out at the end of the game around 21:00 on Wednesday evening.
