Relegation-threatened Baroka FC host Orlando Pirates in a DStv Premiership clash at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday night.
Teams: Baroka v Orlando Pirates
Date: 12 April 2022
Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium
Time: 19h30
In the current league standings, Baroka sit rock bottom of the log with 17 points from 24 games, a point below Swallows FC.
The Buccaneers sit fifth in the league standings after 24 games on 38 points and will be hoping a win can lift them to third on the log a point below second-placed Royal AM.
Baroka last won a league match last month when beating TS Galaxy 1-0 but have since lost their past two league games, getting thumped 5-1 by Cape Town City and losing 1-0 to AmaZulu FC.
Pirates will enter the match on the back of two consecutive Premiership wins over SuperSport United and Sekhukhune United.
In their previous meetings, the Buccaneers and Baroka have faced each other 12 times with Pirates winning three matches and drawing nine, which means Bakgakga have never beaten the Soweto giants.
In their last league game, on 2 December 2021 at Orlando Stadium the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
