Orlando Pirates would be keen to show their ability to record consecutive wins when they visit struggling SuperSport United.

The Buccaneers' last visit to SuperSport was not a memorable trip after they lost 2-0 in May, in what was the two teams’ final match of last season. SuperSport have shown to be vulnerable at the back in the three matches they have played, in which they conceded five goals.

Orlando Pirates and SuperSport play out dull goalless stalemate (Independent Online)

SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates had to settle for a point each from their dull DStv Premiership encounter at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday night.

The Pirates technical team called on their trump cards with the match seemingly heading for a draw. Both sets of coaches would've been looking at their options on the bench, a hero to blow the game wide open. The imprint and influence of the Riveiro on Pirates appears to grow with each match and it was on show once more in this encounter as the Sea Robbers enjoyed 75% of first half possession.

Orlando Pirates dominated the majority of Sunday evening's 0-0 DStv Premiership draw against SuperSport United but could not bury their chances.

Pirates could not clear in their area allowing another Matsatsantsa replacement, Aubrey Ngoma, to square for Gabuza, who slipped on the ball with an open goal beckoning. Gabuza won a bouncing ball on the edge of the box allowing another SuperSport substitute, Iqraam Rayners, to control and strike wide. Soon after the break Goodman Mosele found Eva Nga in space on the left of the area to strike powerfully at Chigova and Pule, steaming in on the other side, hit the rebound wide.

Pirates face SuperSport with Riveiro still in search of a consistent ... (Citizen)

Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro is trying to find consistency in his starting line-up ahead of his side's fifth league match.

I don’t have favourite starters or favourite strikers, I have 30 players in the squad, and I’m trying to get as much as possible in them because that’s my job. We try to have three or four players maximum who are fresh (for games) because we played four games in 12 days. “I don’t believe in rotations, but the strategy is to keep players fresh a little.
