This will be the Buccaneers’ third consecutive MTN8 final on the same field and African football expert Mogale Sathekge is more than confident that the Soweto Giants will come out victorious. During the latest edition of Hit The Target, Sathekge said,

“On Saturday when you meet every Pirates fan, just say ‘Can you spell the word cup?’. You will see. They will smile within seconds, because it’s in their DNA. Even the players, the coach and everything. I’m so happy to see this Pirates, what they are becoming each and every season. There is growth after every game and you can see.”

The season has just begun, but Pirates were sweeping opposition aside. They have booked a spot in the group stages of the CAF Champions League and have a perfect league record, winning 3 from 3.

The Soweto Giants have been playing impressive football and are one of the teams that are tipped to challenge for all trophies this season.

On the other hand, Stellies lifted their first trophy in the top flight on the same venue when they defeated TS Galaxy to clinch the Carling Knockout Cup last season.

Kick off at the Moses Mabhida Stadium is scheduled for 18:00 on Saturday, 05/10/2024.
