Motale on cup final: Why Bucs are under pressure to beat Amakhosi
The Star
|May 09, 2025
ORLANDO Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi might as well have been playing mind games on Wednesday when he downplayed his side's favourites’ tag.
But the reality is that the Buccaneers are under more pressure to win the Nedbank Cup than arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs. The much-anticipated high-stakes battle of the last silverware of the eventful 2024/2025 season will be played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, starting at 3.30pm.
Chiefs have had a very poor season, and since they have not beaten Pirates under the tutelage of outgoing Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, only serious optimists would expect them to win on Saturday. Pirates on the other hand, have had a great campaign, winning the MTN8 for a third time running, reaching the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League, chasing Mamelodi Sundowns for the league title and reaching the Nedbank Cup final.
