The Nedbank Cup Last 32 Soweto Derby is here! This much anticipated knockout clash, pitting arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates against each other, is scheduled for a 15:00 kick-off at FNB Stadium this afternoon.
The two nemeses have clashed in 84 matches across all competitions since 1985, with Chiefs claiming 33 wins compared to Pirates’ 20. The teams’ most recent clash was a league match in January, which ended 1-1.
Amakhosi finished their preparations on Friday with a pre-match training session at the Village and, as earlier reported, there are no serious injuries in the camp. Lorenzo Gordinho is the only certain absentee for this match due to having collected four bookings.
