Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi said Kaizer Chiefs are the favourites to win the Nedbank Cup final today. His reasoning was based on Amakhosi’s inactive week, while the Sea Robbers played a match on Tuesday night.
ORLANDO PIRATES CAPTAIN TAPELO XOKI DISAGREES
“I can’t speak for coach Mandla,” Xoki said.
“He knew what he was saying, but yeah. For us, we know very well that when it comes to these games, it’s about who wants it more,” said Xoki to FARPost. “It’s a derby, form doesn’t play, history doesn’t play, but the eleven [players] on the day play.
“So, we have to make sure that everyone who gets the chance to play, they execute their jobs well,” the Orlando Pirates skipper concluded.
Kick off will be at 15:30 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
