Pirates have arguably been the best team in domestic football this season, winning the two trophies up for grabs in the first half of the campaign: the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout.
The Sea Robbers are not done. They want to clinch the Betway Premiership title and Nedbank Cup at the end of the season, completing an unprecedented quadruple in domestic football.
The Buccaneers are putting their money where their mouth is. They are on top of the log standings in the league with a three-point lead over the champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a game in hand.
The Ouaddou era has showcased a hungry and determined side this season, with newcomers having instantly blended with the seniors. In turn, the Ghost haven't disappointed, filling up the stands to rally behind the team, especially at home.
