Cape Town City Form
Cape Town City won their last match to reach the MTN8 final. After a 0-0 home draw in the first leg against Swallows where they produced 2.1 xG, they lost 3-0 at home to Stellenbosch after two late goals.
City then faced Swallows in a league match and drew 0-0 on their travels with few chances on offer.
In their last match, City thrashed Swallows 4-0 away in the second leg in a match which was 0-0 after 40 minutes. Bradley Ralani scored twice, Fagrie Lakay netted once and substitute Edmilson Dove added a fourth in the last minute.
Cape Town City Injuries & Team News
City have a fully fit squad to choose. Coach Eric Tinkler could rotate from the cup semi-final with winger Craig Martin and midfielder Mpho Makola coming in.
Edmilson Dove is back after a year on the sidelines and he could start at left wingback with Terrence Mashego rested.
Orlando Pirates Form
Pirates saw a four match unbeaten run ended by a defeat in their last match. The team had looked in improved form under co-coaches Fadlu Davids and Mandla Ncikazi.
A 2-2 home draw against Stellenbosch with ten men was followed by a 0-0 stalemate at Marumo Gallants and a narrow 1-0 home win against Swallows. A 3-1 win at Chippa United came next having trailed 1-0.
Their last match a 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns after two second half goals. Pirates rarely threatened their rock solid opponents.
