Mbuyane banks on Bucs’ cup pedigree to see off Chiefs: Orlando Pirates may have struggled to beat Kaizer Chiefs in the last five DStv Premiership matches, but they boast a good record when it comes to cup competitions.
In 20 cup matches in the Premier Soccer League era, Pirates have 10 straight wins, while Chiefs have four, with the other six ending in draws and Amakhosi winning in penalties.
“But I think they have a good team and they will do well this time because the last two matches I was not impressed with the teams they played against from the lower leagues and they may have undermined them. Chiefs on the other side, faced two Premiership teams, Maritzburg United and Royal AM, and Casric Stars from the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
