Orlando Pirates will face their Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the 2020 MTN8 semi-final first-leg encounter on Saturday.


Kick-off is at 3:00 pm CAT.


The match is set to be played at the Mecca of South African football, Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg.


Pirates reached this stage after defeating Cape Town City 1-0 at home in the quarter-final encounter earlier this month.


The Bucaneers are hoping to reach the MTN8 final for the first time since 2014 when they were defeated by Chiefs in an enthralling final


Coach Josef Zinnbauer will look to Thulani Hlatshwayo and Terrence Dzvukamanja when they take on their Soweto rivals.


South frica captain Hlatshwayo is an inspiration leader in the Pirates defence, while Zimbabwean striker Dzvukamanja has a habit of scoring key goals.


Meanwhile, Chiefs secured their place in the last four after defeating Maritzburg United 2-1 in the quarter-final match earlier this month.


Amakhosi are keen to reach the MTN8 final for the first time since 2015 when they succumbed to a surprise defeat to Ajax Cape Town.


Coach Gavin Hunt will pin the team’s hopes of defeating Pirates on Lebogang Manyama and Khama Billiat.


South Africa international Manyama is one of the most creative players in the country, while Zimbabwean attacker Billiat has the ability to inspire his side to a win in the Soweto Derby.
