The Buccaneers are chasing a treble in 2025. But the Soweto Derby in the Nedbank Cup final will be anything but routine.

Pirates’ Winning Mentality Makes Them Favourites

Orlando Pirates have been the most consistent cup team in South Africa over the past few years. They lifted the MTN8 in 2022, 2023 and 2024, adding the Nedbank Cup in the last two years. Coach Jose Riveiro has built a team that knows how to win knockout games.

Several key players have stepped up. Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota offer youthful energy and technical quality. Patrick ‘Tito’ Maswanganyi and Tshegofatso Mabasa bring goals and experience in attack.

The Buccaneers also have great depth. Even when missing key players, they often manage to grind out results. This strength in depth is one reason why Pirates are often favourites in online sports betting markets for key matches.

Moses Mabhida Final Will Be Chiefs’ Last Stand

The Nedbank Cup final on 10 May will be hosted at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. It promises to be a fiery clash. For Kaizer Chiefs, this is more than just a cup final.

Their season has been poor by any standard. With no hope of winning the league, this is their last chance. If they lose, they will go another season without silverware.

That makes them a dangerous opponent. Chiefs will approach the final like their season depends on it — because it does. And while they are underdogs, the unpredictability of a Soweto Derby cannot be underestimated.

Chiefs Can Thrive as Underdogs

It’s rare to label Kaizer Chiefs as underdogs in any match. But that’s exactly what they are heading into this showdown. Their form has been inconsistent, and they’ve struggled in big games lately.

However, the underdog tag could work in their favour. It removes some pressure and allows them to focus on disruption. Pirates will be expected to dominate, and that suits Chiefs just fine.

Moreover, Chiefs have talented players who can rise to the occasion. In a one-off game, it only takes a moment of magic or a defensive lapse. Pirates will need to stay switched on for the full 90 minutes — or more, if needed.

Treble Hopes Add Pressure on the Buccaneers

Orlando Pirates (10.68) are not just in the Nedbank Cup final. They are also pushing for the South African Premiership title and the CAF Champions League. This adds pressure.

A treble in the classic sense – league, Champions League and FA Cup – has not been achieved in South African soccer. While it is a sign of dominance, it also creates expectation. Every opponent wants to be the one who ends the dream.

This could work in Kaizer Chiefs’ favour. Pirates have more to lose, which could lead to nerves or overthinking. Chiefs, on the other hand, have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Soweto Derby Drama Set to Continue

The Soweto Derby always brings drama. Whether in the league or cup, these matches are fiercely contested. Even when one team is struggling, the passion of the derby levels the playing field.

Fans can expect a sold-out crowd in Durban. The Moses Mabhida Stadium has hosted many iconic matches, and this one could be the latest chapter. For neutrals and loyal supporters alike, it’s a must-watch.

Given the context, this could be one of the most intense derbies in recent memory. Chiefs will be desperate. Pirates will be focused. Both teams know what is at stake.

Final Thoughts

Orlando Pirates are the form team. They have more talent, better results, and momentum. But Kaizer Chiefs have desperation — and that can be a powerful motivator.

The Buccaneers cannot afford to take this match lightly. Their treble hopes rest on staying composed and clinical. Chiefs will look to drag them into a battle and take advantage of any weakness.

Regardless of form, the Nedbank Cup final is set to be a classic. Expect fireworks in Durban. The Soweto Derby is about more than just soccer — it’s about pride, history, and glory.
