Carling Black Label Cup Starting Lineup
After unveiling their new home and away kits for the 2022/23 season earlier this week, both teams are set to give debuts to a host of players this weekend. Despite it being a friendly match, there will be no love lost in the field of play. Orlando Pirates have made a total of nine new signings after offloading a squad of fringe players. These players will be looking to make their mark and impress the crowd of fans that voted for them based on their exploits last season.
As the countdown to the Carling Black Label Cup begins, Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori will be hoping for a better performance than he has shown in the Soweto Derby. In two consecutive games against rivals Kaizer Chiefs, Ofori has come under scrutiny for his part in Pirates' back-to-back defeats.
For the 2022-23 Carling Black Label Cup, Mamelodi Sundowns' Ronwen Williams is set on being the best of the best, with Orlando Pirates eager for revenge against Kaizer Chiefs. Pirates' Jose Riveiro is determined to move past their MTN8 victory, while Chiefs' Arthur Zwane has a lengthy history of pressure-filled performances. AmaZulu captain Makhaula reveals that his team is in a vulnerable state after their heartbreaking MTN8 defeat.
