Orlando Pirates welcome Sekhukhune United to Orlando Stadium this afternoon for the second leg of their MTN8 semi-final.
The Buccaneers head into the clash with a slender 1-0 advantage following last weekend’s first-leg victory, courtesy of Deon Hotto’s wonder goal.
Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side will be full of confidence after defeating the very same opponents in the league on Tuesday night making it two wins over Babina Noko on the bounce.
Should the Buccaneers get the job done, it will mark a fifth consecutive MTN8 final appearance for the club.
