Carling Knockout quarterfinals set for weekend
The final three Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final matches will be played this weekend. Orlando Pirates will face Sekhukhune United at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs will take on Siwelele FC in Polokwane on Sunday, and AmaZulu will travel to Stellenbosch FC for a match at the Danie Craven Stadium. Orlando Pirates will host Sekhukhune United in a quarterfinal at Orlando Amstel Arena.
The teams have previously met three times this season, twice in the MTN 8 semi-finals and once in the league, with Pirates winning all three encounters. However, Sekhukhune's new coach Papi Zothwane replaced Cedric Kaze after those losses, and Pirates' coach Abdeslam Ouaddou warns his team must be wary of their new adversary. Zothwane, formerly Kaze's assistant, believes his team has prepared well and acknowledges their history against Pirates.
Siwelele FC interim coach Godfrey Mosoetsa asserts that his players will have no need for motivation as they compete against a formidable opponent.
