Orlando Pirates faced Orbit College in their fourth Betway Championship fixture, though their squad did not include the team's key attacking figure.

Notably absent was young winger Relebohile Mofokeng, who was omitted from the matchday selection. Head coach Abdesslam Ouaddou addressed the media regarding this decision.

When matches are played every three days, the objective is to introduce fresh energy while also managing player welfare. At the same time, results are essential—we must win. The challenge lies in assembling a competitive side while prioritizing those who are currently in strong form,” the Orlando Pirates manager stated.

After the initial three rounds of the South African top flight, Orlando Pirates have secured three points, recording one victory and two losses.
