United take on Pirates in Johannesburg

SuperSport United aim to continue with their unbeaten run in the Bio-Bubble when they take on the Mighty Orlando Pirates at Doornfontein, Johannesburg.

The match is scheduled for Emirates Airline Park on Saturday and kick off is at 13h30.

Matsatsantsa have never lost a match in the Biologically Safe Environment (BSE) after registering one draw in their first game against Bloemfontein Celtic and two consecutive victories against two Limpopo Province sides Polokwane City FC and Black Leopards respectively.

United are going into this match highly motivated after their last win on the road and the victory moved them to position three on the league table.

In their last meeting, United thrashed Pirates 3-0 at home a year ago at the Mbombela Stadium in the Mpumalanga Province.

Forward Bradley Grobler netted a brace while substitute Zambian international Ghampani Lungu scored the third strike.

Matsatsantsa will again rely on the pair in this important encounter. Also, Matsatsantsa are reliant on the goal threat of former Pirates big centre-forward Thamsanqa Gabuza.
