Form Guide
The Buccaneers enter the match in high spirits, having secured a 2-0
league victory over TS Galaxy on Tuesday. This win extends their
formidable run to seven consecutive victories across all competitions.
Under the guidance of coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the side has already
clinched one trophy this season, convincingly beating Stellenbosch FC 3-0
in the MTN8 final back in August.
Siwelele, on the other hand, will be buoyed by a return to winning ways.
They ended a seven-game winless streak in the league with a narrow 1-0
victory over Marumo Gallants last weekend. However, history from just last
week serves as a cautionary tale; the two sides met in the league, where a
solitary goal from Oswin Appollis secured a 1-0 win for Orlando Pirates.
