Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has weighed in on the highly anticipated Nedbank Cup final between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, set to take place at Moses Mabhida Stadium this weekend. Ahead of the big match, Kolisi shared his thoughts and prediction for what is expected to be a thrilling encounter between the two Soweto giants.
Kolisi’s Prediction Ahead of the Showdown
Kolisi wasn’t the only one offering a prediction for the upcoming final—his fellow teammates at the Sharks also gave their take on who they believe will come out on top. Chiefs, under new manager Nasreddine Nabi, will be looking to claim their first title under his stewardship. However, Nabi’s tenure has yet to see a win against Pirates this season, with his side losing both of their meetings so far, including a 2-1 defeat in their most recent match at FNB Stadium.
Pirates Eye a Historic Third Consecutive Title
For Pirates, this will be their third consecutive appearance in the Nedbank Cup final, having won the previous two editions. With their current form and momentum, many are tipping them to continue their strong cup run and add another trophy to their collection.
The stage is set for what promises to be an exciting clash, and Kolisi’s prediction has only added to the buzz surrounding the fixture.
