Kick-off at Jonsson Kings Park Stadium in Durban is set for Wednesday evening, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side arrive full of confidence after completing a domestic treble last season and opening this campaign with a 2-0 win over Milford, before edging past Durban City in extra time to reach the MTN8 semi-finals. The Buccaneers have undergone significant squad changes over the close season, with talisman Relebohile Mofokeng among nine departures, leaving Oswin Appollis and Patrick Maswanganyi to shoulder more of the creative burden.

AmaZulu, meanwhile, will be desperate to put Sunday behind them, having led Sekhukhune United twice before an extraordinary defensive collapse saw them beaten 4-3 after extra time in the MTN8. Arthur Zwane’s side did open the season with a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch, but the quick turnaround from Sunday’s energy-sapping cup exit leaves Usuthu with little time to recover before facing the champions.

Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya is the man carrying AmaZulu’s hopes, having scored three goals in his first two appearances of the new season.

History is firmly in the visitors’ favour: Pirates have won 33 of the 71 league meetings between these two sides since 1985, drawing 28 and losing just 10, and they have beaten AmaZulu in both fixtures last season, 2-0 and 3-0, without conceding.
