Kaizer Chiefs looking to make history against Wydad Casablanca
The Soweto giants have never reached the final of the continental tournament and will be gunning for their debut. As they continue and seen as underdogs, Chiefs have defied the odds this time and managed to book a spot in the semis - they have now set one foot in the last stage.
However, they still have to go out there and finish the job at home. A goalless draw for coach Arthur Zwane’s troops will be enough to reach the final.
At the same time, the Glamour Boys fans are holding their breath to see their team bag a win for them to claim the bragging rights when it comes to their rivals.
They will hope to emulate the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, these are the only two DStv Premiership sides that have tasted continental glory.
