💨 Abstract

Orlando Pirates aim to win the Carling Knockout Cup, a trophy they last claimed in 2011. Despite winning seven trophies in five years, they’ve struggled in this competition, losing eight of nine finals. They face Siwelele FC in the first round, heavy favorites after a seven-game winning streak. However, they were eliminated in the first round last season. A win could mirror their 2011 success, where they also won the league.
