The Buccaneers are desperate to end their four-match winless run against the Beautiful Birds in the original Soweto Derby
Orlando Pirates are set to start their defence of the MTN8 when they take on Swallows FC in a quarter-final encounter at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
The Bucs fans will be keen to see how the team performs in a competitive match after being defeated in the 2021 Carling Black Label Cup by Kaizer Chiefs almost two weeks ago.
Pirates succumbed to a 4-3 defeat on penalties following a 0-0 draw in a high-profile pre-season match against Chiefs and they will now get their 2021/22 campaign underway against Swallows.
