It's Bafana attackers against Bucs' defence

Kaizer Chiefs coach Vladimir Vermezovic is expecting an explosive attacking contest in the MTN8 Final pitting his three Bafana Bafana attackers against the best defensive team – Orlando Pirates. 

Chiefs have in their attack three Bafana players. Bernard Parker, Lehlohonolo Majoro and Siphiwe Tshabalala, which will face a litmus test against a Pirates team that is not easy to break down.

With Siyabonga Sangweni in charge at the back just in front of Moeneeb Josephs, Pirates are not easy to break down.

"This season most teams will face three Bafana attackers and we will see how they handle that. This weekend it is the best strike force against a very good defence. We will try very hard to put them under pressure because we know what their weaknesses are," says Vermezovic of his attack.

While VV has three Bafana attackers there will be yet another intriguing midfield that will pit the youthful Pirates duo of Andile Jali and Oupa Manyisa against seasoned Tinashe Nengomasha and Reneilwe Letsholonyane who is expected to play after returning from injury.

"We have the experience in our team (referring to central midfield) but they have the arrogance and confidence," says VV.

It is given that Pirates will stick with Jali and Manyisa while Chiefs are aware that to contain the Bucs engine room Nengomasha will need the assistance of 'Yeye'.
