Absa Premiership
Teams: AmaZulu v Orlando Pirates
Date: 20 August 2019
Venue: King Zwelithini Stadium
Orlando Pirates will be pushing for a return to winning ways as they take on AmaZulu in the Absa Premiership on Tuesday evening. View The PSL Table It's been a disappointing week for the Buccaneers, who come into the fixture having lost their last three matches in all competitions, which included a 1-0 loss to Highlands Park in the MTN8 over the weekend. The defeat to Highlands was Rhulani Mokwena's first game in charge as interim coach following the departure of Milutin Sredojevic, who has been appointed as coach of Zamalek. The Buccaneers will now shift their focus to Absa Premiership matters, with their last league encounter ending in a 3-0 defeat to SuperSport United eight days ago. Meanwhile, AmaZulu enter the encounter desperate for three points after losing their opening two league encounters. Usuthu, who sit bottom of the standings after two rounds, have failed to beat the Buccaneers in their last eight matches across all competitions.View The PSL Results Here's how they line up: AmaZulu: 43.
