How Chiefs and Sundowns fared in previous MTN8 finals
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will have to win their respective fixtures to face each other. If both sides win, it wouldn't be the first time they face off in the finals as they went against each other at FNB Stadium in 2011, where the Buccaneers emerged victorious. Chiefs got their revenge in 2014 when they downed their longtime rivals 1-0 following a fierce showdown between the giants.
On the other hand, Sundowns tasted defeat at the final stages in 2016 when they were thrashed 3-0 by Bidvest Wits.
As it stands, Msandawana is currently number one on the PSL log, having played two and won two games. On the other hand, Chiefs are still struggling to find their rhythm as they've drawn one and lost another match, leaving them in the bottom half of the league early in the league.
The two teams tasted the MTN8 semi-finals as they went up against each other last Wednesday for their third PSL fixture. Sundowns beat the Phefeni Glamour Boys 2-1 to cement their place at the league's top. Chiefs will enter the game on a high note, having clinched the victory over Eric Tinkler's boys this past weekend in the final minute of extra time with a goal coming off from new signing, Venezuelan Edson Castillo.

"Time to avenge and redeem ourselves."
