More than 20 000 spectators are going to set a world record when they blow their Vuvuzelas for 30 seconds before the Orlando Pirates meet Kaizer Chiefs in the Vodacom Challenge at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth this evening.
And it would seem that because of their 2 -0 Victory over Manchester City in Polokwane and their longer rest period after the game, the mighty Buccaneers are tipped to win this game to meet the blues again in the final at Loftus on Saturday.
The Buccaneers have the Edge
According to Kickoff, Orlando Pirates Coach, Ruud Kroll believes his boys have the edge.
“Recuperation is very important in football and the fact that Chiefs played a top team like Manchester City yesterday [Tuesday] does give us an advantage,” Kroll says. “From our side, we have prepared well and are relaxed.”
Pressure is on Chiefs
And when you speak to Amakhosi manager Bobby Motaung he says the pressure is on his team after their defeat to City on Tuesday.
“The game in Durban was almost like a practice match; there was no pressure on us to win,” he says. “But the pressure comes with Thursday’s game because there is no ‘friendly’ match when we play Pirates.
