Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena will have to rejig his side after the midweek red card of captain Happy Jele as the Buccaneers take on Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium in the Absa Premiership on Saturday.

The Buccaneers will be in search of revenge after being eliminated from the Telkom Knockout by Chiefs via a penalty shoot-out last weekend.

Pirates played much of the TKO quarter-final with 10-men, and then again showed their ill-discipline as Jele received his marching orders against Maritzburg United for a second bookable offence.

Mokwena will now be without his captain and most experienced central defender for the seasons’ second Soweto derby this weekend.

Mokwena may also be looking to readjust his forward line to offer a different dimension on Saturday.

SoccerClub writer Dean Workman has attempted to predicted Pirates starting XI for the clash at the FNB.
