Melusi Buthelezi is likely to step in for Chaine while captain Innocent Maela could come in for Hotto. Ndabayithethwa Ndlonldo or Thabang Monare are options to replace Timm.

Head-to-head and recent form

The Buccaneers are on a three-game unbeaten run in the league and have won their last two matches.

It is the kind of form needed at this critical stage of the season and they would be happy they have lost just once in their last five games.

Their opponents have also avoided defeat in their last two league outings and would be hoping to build on that.
