Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi says history and cup competition pedigree will count for nothing when his side faces AmaZulu FC in the highly-anticipated MTN8 Cup final on Saturday.
Pirates and Usuthu will battle it out for the R8m cheque and trophy in the climax of the competition at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban .
“When it comes to these types of games, history and form counts for nothing,” Ncikazi said in the build-up to the clash.“History will not help in any way. What I’m hoping for is that our players are well prepared for this game.” “So being part of the losing team in Nigeria, maybe lady luck will be good enough this time and we are all working towards that because sometimes you have to work for your luck. I hope we have done enough to win the cup this time around.”
