A spot in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final will be at stake when Orlando Pirates visit holders Marumo Gallants on Wednesday evening.
Teams: Marumo Gallants v Orlando Pirates
Date: 09 March 2022
Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium
Time: 18h00
Pirates will be looking to bounce back from the Soweto derby defeat against Kaizer Chiefs over the weekend, which extended their winless streak to three matches in the league.
In the cup, The Buccaneers booked their spot in the last 16 after edging AmaZulu 1-0 courtesy of a second-half goal by Deon Hotto.
The Soweto giants have won this tournament under current sponsors twice in 2010/11 and 2013/14 seasons and will be eager to go all the way.
Gallants, meanwhile, have a perfect record since they resumed their campaign, as they booked their spot in the round of 16 with a 2-0 win over third-tier side Santos.
Dan Malesela's charges remain unstoppable in the league after extending their winning streak to three matches with a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch over the weekend.
Pirates are the last team to beat Gallants in the league in a 2-1 in December last year at Orlando Stadium.
