Both Orlando Pirates and Marumo Gallants head into this clash with perfect records, having not lost a match.

Last time Jose Riveiro’s team played against Marumo Gallants in March, they went down 2-0.

The Sea Robbers chase history as they hope to reach their third consecutive Nedbank Cup Final, having lifted the trophy in the previous two seasons.

Orlando Pirates have won five trophies - the MTN8s and two Nedbank Cups.
They are still in the running for the Betway Premiership.

Head coach Jose Riveiro will be leaving the Sea Robbers at the end of the season following a successful three-year stay.

The Buccaneers and Mamelodi Sundowns both advanced to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League this week, and Stellenbosch FC achieved the same feat in the CAF Confederation Cup.
