This Saturday, 11 March, Orlando Pirates will face off against Venda Football Academy in the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup.
The Soweto giants will be without skipper Innocent Maela who is serving his second match suspension after he was sent off against Kaizer Chiefs in their narrow 1-0 defeat last week.
However, Pirates will look to build on their emphatic 4-1 win over Swallows just over a week ago, with Monnapule Saleng scoring a hat-trick in the match.
Venda are not having a good season in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, sitting 14th on the table after playing to a 1-1 draw against University of Pretoria last weekend.
They reached this stage after edging ABC Motsepe League side Black Cross 2-1 and will take inspiration from the likes of third-tier side Dondol Stars, who have already eliminated two Premiership sides, SuperSport United and AmaZulu.
The match will be held at the Orlando Stadium, kicking off at 20h00. Both teams have released their line-ups, with Pirates looking to make it to the quarterfinals of the Nedbank Cup.
