The other semi-final between holders Ajax Cape Town and AmaZulu
will take place at Bloemfontein's Seisa Ramabodu Stadium on
Saturday at 8.15pm.
The venues were released by the Premier Soccer League on Monday
night.
The Soweto Derby is expected to attract a capacity crowd of over
50 000 to the Moses Mabhida Stadium which is one of the new
stadiums custom build to host the World Cup which kicks off in
June.
Both clubs were happy with the arrangement: Said Amakhosi coach
Vladimir Vermezovic: “It does not matter where we play. We have
played both games in the Knockout away from home so I am not
worried about the venue.”
A sell crowd of 28 000 at Atteridgeville's Super Stadium last
Sunday saw Chiefs beat Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 much more easily than
the score suggests and that means Amakhosi start as slight
favourites to beat their arch rivals for the first time this season
when Durban fans are treated to a bonus Soweto Derby.
Both Absa Premiership matches the two Soweto clubs have ended in
0-0 draws.
But on Monday if scores are level extra time and if necessary a
penalty shootout will decide who plays in the final.
