For Pirates, it was a return to a back four after several weeks of using three centre-backs. This meant a return for Mthokozisi Dube at right-back position for just his fourth start of the season.

In midfield, Xola Mlambo was injured. So, Ben Motshwari partnered Musa Nyatama.

In attacking areas, Vincent Pule was out suspended. This saw Luvuyo Memela continue in the starting XI with Justin Shonga back to start and Augustine Mulenga in support.
