Innocent Mayoyo, listed as one of the legendary goalkeepers Orlando Pirates have had on their books since being birthed as a modest club in 1937, has revealed a possible key determining factor in the result between his former side and TS Galaxy on Tuesday.
Bucs visit the Rockets in a Betway Premiership encounter, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30.

It is billed as a fixture too important for either team to lose, what with the desperation for the three points on offer.
A Pirates victory will not only see them open a six-point gap between them and Mamelodi Sundowns but will increase confidence in camp with the first game of the CAF Champions League group stage looming on the horizon.
For Galaxy, position 15 is an undesirable placing in a 16-team league and the sooner they get out of there, the better.
No win from four matches does spell some disaster though for Sead Ramovic's charges.
"The chances of Galaxy stopping Pirates tonight are almost non-existent," Mayoyo confidently declares, previewing the game with KickOff.com.
"Mbombela Stadium is too open, it suits the Orlando Pirates style of play, and the fact that TS Galaxy is not playing well at the moment only makes things worse [for them].
"For the first time, this match will give Orlando Pirates an opportunity to be in contention and control," adds the man known as a colourful character throughout a nomadic career that saw him represent countless PSL clubs.
Mayoyo went on to state where he thinks it's all going wrong for the club owned by former agent Tim Sukazi.
"I think their struggle is due to the element of not beefing up that much. They believe too much in what they have.

"That said, though, this Pirates team doesn't differ too much from last season's. It's just that they are improving.
"They are now beginning to be consistent in the league. It's good that all the PSL teams are now believing in youngsters again. It shows a good production from the DDC [DStv Diski Challenge]."
