Favourites? How Bucs Have The Edge At Mabhida

As Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates prepare to square off in a cup final for the first time in 11 years, Soccer Laduma looks at how the Soweto giants have performed in finals played at Moses Mabhida Stadium. 

The sides meet in the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday in arguably the biggest game domestically this season, with a lot at stake for them both. Chiefs, the home team in the final, are determined after a decade of no major trophies in the cabinet, while the Buccaneers want to become the first club to win three consecutive Nedbank Cup titles.
