Orlando Pirates are set to host Sekhukhune United in the Carling Knockout quarter-final on Saturday at the Orlando Stadium.
This will be the fourth time that the two teams will be playing each other this season, across all competitions. They met twice in the MTN8 semi-final where the Buccaneers won both legs, as well as the Premier Soccer League.
The Sea Robbers are aiming at registering four consecutive victories against Babina Noko.
Never underestimate Sekhukhune
