Kick-off in Soweto is set for this Saturday, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Pirates carry a slender 1-0 aggregate advantage into the return leg, courtesy of Deon Hotto’s stoppage-time-before-the-break strike in the first leg at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side have since added a 2-0 league win over the same opponents at Orlando Stadium on Tuesday, leaving them unbeaten in this fixture since last season and chasing an unprecedented fifth straight MTN8 title.

Sekhukhune, under new head coach Cedric Kaze, arrive needing a response they have not managed against Pirates all week. Kaze will not be permitted in the technical area after a red card in midweek, leaving assistant Paulus Masehe in the dugout again, while both first-choice full-backs — Vuyo Letlapa and Tsepo Mashiloane, ineligible against his parent club — remain unavailable.

History gives Pirates the edge, with the Buccaneers winning eight of the last 14 meetings between the sides across all competitions, though the two clubs’ only previous major cup final meeting, the 2022/23 Nedbank Cup, also went the Buccaneers’ way.
