Orlando Pirates latest: TWO stars to watch out for in Bafana squad!

Orlando Pirates fans and coaches will be keeping a close eye on Helman Mkhalele’s Bafana side later this evening!

Bafana return to action this evening for the first time since their 2-1 loss against Morocco last month.

Hugo Broos’ side went down in their opening AFCON Qualifier against a formidable Moroccan side.

This time around, a young looking South African national side under the guidance of Helman Mkhalele, will be looking to book their place in the COSAFA Cup Semi-finals.

Orlando Pirates will be keeping a close eye on Helman Mkhalele’s starting lineup to see if Azola Matrose and Boitumelo Radiopane make the cut.

Radiopane, last season’s DStv Diski Challenge top scorer, was recently loaned out to Cape Town Spurs by the Buccaneers.

Matrose on the other hand was signed by Orlando Pirates ahead of next season from Chippa United.

The match was originally scheduled to take place at the Princess Magogo stadium but will now take place at the King Zwelithini stadium.

Bafana’s clash against Mozambique gets underway at 17:00. The match will be televised LIVE on SABC Sport’s DTT channel and 124 on open view.

The match can also be live streamed on TelkomOne. Unfortunately neither SuperSport or SABC Sport will be televising the clash on DStv.
