DStv Premiership
Teams: Chippa United v Orlando Pirates
Date: 15 August 2023
Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium
Time: 19h30
Pirates had a shaky start to the season after a 1-0 loss to Stellenbosch but responded emphatically with a 4-2 thrashing of Royal AM in the league and hammered Sekhukhune United 5-0 in the MTN8 quarter-finals on Saturday, with Zakhele Lepasa netting a hat-trick.
Pirates are placed sixth on the standings with three points from two games and will be looking to keep up with leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Chippa, meanwhile, are yet to score nor concede after two goalless draws in their games against Kaizer Chiefs and TS Galaxy.
The Chilli Boys are placed 11th on the table with two points from as many matches.
Chippa stunned Pirates 1-0 in the first round clash early last season at Orlando Stadium thanks to a late winner by Abdi Banda.
However, the Buccaneers turned things around in the return fixture after beating United 2-0 courtesy of goals by Kabelo Dlamini and Thembinkosi Lorch.
