Pirates’ Confed Cup mission against Simba is crystal clear
As for where the goals will come from for Bucs, co-coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids will depend on the likes of Goodman Mosele, Deon Hotto and Siphesihle Ndlovu to create the chances.
Today’s fixture at Orlando Stadium has all the elements of a charged-up encounter if the pre- and post-match events during the first leg are anything to by. Simba felt provoked after Ncikazi made allegations of a hostile reception and ill-treatment for Pirates while they were in Dar es Salaam last week.
Sideshows aside, it is the on-pitch events this evening that will determine which side will advance to the last four. The winner between Pirates and Simba will meet either Al Ahli Tripoli or Al-Ittihad Tripoli, both of Libya, who are also facing off in a quarterfinal tonight.
