A place in the MTN8 final will be at stake when holders Mamelodi Sundowns host Orlando Pirates in the second leg of the semi-final on Saturday afternoon.

MTN8

Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v Orlando Pirates

Date: 22 October 2022

Venue: Peter Mokaba Stadium

Time: 15h30

The first leg between the sides ended goalless at Orlando Stadium at the beginning of the month, with Sundowns unable to find any shot on target.

The Brazilians have went on to win three consecutive games in all competitions since then, the last of which was a narrow 1-0 victory over Marumo Gallants in the league in midweek.

The Buccaneers, on the other hand, went three successive matches without a victory after the goalless draw in the first-leg and only broke that winless streak on Tuesday after beating Golden Arrows 2-0 in the Premiership.

The Soweto giants have announced that five players, who have been nursing injuries, are a doubt for the game Vincent Pule, Thembinkosi Lorch, Goodman Mosele, Bandile Shandu and goalkeeper Richard Ofori.
