Coach Ernst Middendorp named six defenders in the starting line-up with Kwanda Mngonyama deployed in midfield, while Clayton Daniels marshalled a five-man defence.
Meanwhile, Bucs were targeting nothing but a victory as they were winless in two matches having been held to a 0-0 draw by Lamontville Golden Arrows at home on Tuesday.
Middendorp's counterpart, Josef Zinnbauer made two changes to the team which faced Arrows as he handed 18-year-old midfielder Azola Tshobeni his official debut.
The Team of the Choice sat back to absorb any pressure from the Buccaneers, who dominated possession with Thabang Monare being allowed to distribute the ball from midfield.
