MTN8 Semi-Final
Teams: Orlando Pirates v Kaizer Chiefs
Date: 31 October 2020
Venue: Orlando Stadium
The first Soweto derby of the 2020/21 season sees Orlando Pirates host Kaizer Chiefs in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-finals on Saturday afternoon.
The match will get underway at 15h00.
The Buccaneers managed to overcome Cape Town City in the last round while Chiefs rallied from behind to defeat Maritzburg United.
Josef Zinnbauer's charges are winless from their opening two league games, which includes draws with AmaZulu and most recently Stellenbosch.
After suffering a big loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in their opening league clash, Gavin Hunt's troops bounced back with a narrow 1-0 win over Chippa United on Tuesday.
Amakhosi dominated the derby duels last season, knocking the Buccaneers out of the Telkom Knockout in the quarter-finals and also completing a league double over their arch-rivals. Furthermore, the last time the sides met in this competition; Chiefs won 1-0 in the final to clinch the trophy back in 2014 in Durban.
