Orlando Pirates: Devin Titus vs Mashiloane?
Stellenbosch forward Devin Titus has been a thorn in the Orlando Pirates side for a few years now. The last time he played against the Buccaneers at the Orlando Stadium, he scored the only goal as his team handed Pirates their first league defeat of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season. On Wednesday, the 23-year-old forward returns to the very stadium he silenced thousands of Bucs fans just eight months ago. Both Pirates and Stellies are yet to win a league match after two rounds and will be desperate to turn things around. The Bafana Bafana star is known for his pace and eye for goal and has led Stellenbosch's attack with the departure of Iqraam Rayners. Pirates are vulnerable in defence, having conceded every league match this season. It remains to be seen who Abdeslam Ouaddou will field at right-back. Tshepo Mashiloane has been the coach's preferred right-back for the Buccaneers but the ex-Baroka defender has struggled so far. If Orlando Pirates start with Mashiloane, Titus might have a good outing in Orlando once again. Oouaddou might also consider ex-stellies captain Deano van Rooyen, who played against Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

'He needs to spent more time with his wife': Chiefs fans on Nabi's return
Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi is set to return to the club in the coming days after briefly leaving the team to attend a family emergency. In his absence, his assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has led Amakhosi to three consecutive wins. After three matches in the Betway Premiership, Chiefs occupy second on the log and are only behind leaders Sekhukhune United. Youssef revealed on Tuesday that Nabi was expected to return to South Africa in the coming days after spending time with his wife, who was involved in a serious accident. 'Coach Nabi will be with us this week to prepare for the game against Sundowns,' he said. With Nabi coming back before the Downs match, some fans are sceptical over the Tunisian, given how the team has had success without him. @Tumi97029282891 wrote: 'Give Nabi 2 extended week off,he needs to recover well and come back nice and fresh…everything is under need to stress Nabi.' @PatX2020 wrote: 'Return this week?!
