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.
