Orlando Pirates Get Three Points During Their Matchup With Chippa United.

It looks like Orlando Pirates will have a significant lead over Chippa United in their Nedbank Cup semifinal this afternoon.

As the Orlando Pirates prepare for the Nedbank Cup, they have rediscovered their form at the ideal moment in the season.

This afternoon at Gqeberha, Pirates and Chippa United will play in the Nedbank Cup semifinals.

They will enter the match having scored 18 goals in their previous five games across all competitions. The decisive 7-1 victory over Golden Arrows ignited the streak. Two matches versus AmaZulu ensued, with the former winning 4-1 and the latter winning 1-0. Pirates went on to defeat Royal AM 4-0 and Cape Town City 2-0 along the way. The Soweto giants achieved a historic first victory over the Citizen’s in Cape Town.

Pirates in Red Hot Form

They also include the flamboyant Tshegofatso Mabasa in their ranks. With 13 goals in the league so far this season, the prolific striker is in great form. With three goals for Pirates already in the Nedbank Cup, he will be looking to carry that form into the competition.

If he is successful, Chippa will have little chance against the Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final. They have positive relationships with that particular team in the past. Both parties have benefited from those relationships in terms of player exchanges. However, neither side would engage in amicable interactions on the field of play at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Chippa Are Suspended Three Times.

The desire to secure a spot in the Nedbank Cup final will be a driving force. However, with three important players out for the match, Chippa will be disadvantaged. Due to suspension, Azola Ntsabo, Baraka Majogoro, and club captain Roscoe Pietersen will not be available for the Chilli Boys. Pirates might be licking their lips at that point.

The game between the Pirates and Chippa is scheduled to begin at 15:00.
