The Nedbank Cup final will be hosted at the Moses Mabhida for the fifth time. Kaizer Chiefs are acting as the home team to old bitter rivals Orlando Pirates. Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing to end a decade-long trophy drought by winning the Nedbank Cup, while Orlando Pirates are seeking to retain the trophy for the third successive time. Here's our match prediction.
The Soweto Derby has been more of a headache than a joyous occasion for Kaizer Chiefs' hopefuls this season. Nasreddine Nabi's men have lost two consecutive matches against Orlando Pirates. Both encounters were narrow defeats.
Orlando Pirates have been on cloud nine when playing against their bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs. So far, they have won five consecutive meetings and headed into this clash, eyeing a sixth straight win. The visitors may not be successful as Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup when it comes to trophies obtained. However, they are about to make history by becoming the first team to win three consecutive trophies in this competition.

Kaizer Chiefs - Orlando Pirates: Form Analysis
Kaizer Chiefs fans have been down in the dumps regarding their team's floundering performance. The hosts have tasted victory just once in eight matches across all competitions (D3, L4).
Saturday's 2-1 derby home defeat at the hands of Orlando Pirates extended their winless league run to three games. It has to be pointed out that this was their second successive 2-1 defeat.
Amakhosi now redirect their focus to the Nedbank Cup. This is the competition that has seen them enjoy some memorable moments, such as defeating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 on the road in the semifinal.
Orlando Pirates are making their seventh appearance in the Nedbank Cup final since 2008.
After going three games without a win across all competitions, Orlando Pirates have risen from the trenches and are currently enjoying a two-match winning streak.
The Buccaneers, after dispatching Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the league, went on to beat Golden Arrows by the same scoreline last Tuesday.
Regarding their achievements in the Nedbank Cup, Jose Riveiro's men are the current holders. In fact, last season, they retained the silverware by beating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the final. This made them the first team to defend the league title since 2017.

Kaizer Chiefs & Orlando Pirates Squad Analysis
Kaizer Chiefs have no fresh injury news to report on ahead of this Nedbank Cup final.
Wandile Duba is expected to lead the attack this Saturday in what is expected to be a 4-2-3-1 formation. Pule Mmodi and Makabi Lilepo will provide support from the wings, while Gaston Sirino will become the team's creative hub, linking up midfield and attack.
Mmodi and Mabasa lead the goal-scoring charts in the 2025 Nedbank Cup (4).
Head coach Jose Riveiro is likely to stick to the same lineup that won 2-1 against Kaizer Chiefs last time out. This means we could see Evidence Makgopa in front of the goal.
Evidence Makgopa has been the team's go-to guy when it comes to scoring goals this season. In his 19 appearances for the club, he has scored five goals, but that's one goal less compared to Tshegofatso Mabasa's 6.
Relebohile Mofokeng is also a player to watch out for this Saturday. The 20-year-old has been directly involved in 10 goal involvements for Orlando Pirates this season.

Orlando Pirates are seeking to become the first Betway Premiership team to win three consecutive Nedbank Cup trophies.
