Sekhukhune United will be without head coach Cedric Kaze for the MTN8 second leg semi-final against Orlando Pirates
Sekhukhune United have little time to dwell on back-to-back defeats to Orlando Pirates as they prepare for a must-win MTN8 semi-final second leg.
Babina Noko head into Saturday’s decisive encounter at the Orlando Amstel Arena trailing 1–0 from the first leg, before suffering another defeat to the Buccaneers in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday.
Pirates won that league encounter 2–0, leaving Sekhukhune with the difficult task of overturning the deficit against an opponent that has now beaten them twice in the space of four days.
Their challenge has been made even tougher by the absence of head coach Cedric Kaze, who was sent off during Tuesday’s league defeat and will watch Saturday’s match from the stands.
