Selaelo Rasebotja tips Orlando Pirates to make light work of fallen former Nedbank Cup champions TTM

While the Buccaneers are currently competing for the Betway Premiership title, TTM are now an ABC Motsepe side.

They enjoyed a brief spell in the South African top-flight after purchasing the status of Bidvest Wits and went on to beat Chippa United 1-0 in the 2021 final.

Financial difficulties ultimately led to TTM's demise and ultimate relegation, but they have since reformed and are once again eager to make an impact in the national cup competition.

Pirates have dominated the cups in recent seasons but lost in the final of the Nedbank Cup last term to rivals Kaizer Chiefs.

Rasebotja, who is currently working his way back from injury, says he can only see one winner in this tie.

He said in the Sowetan: "I think it's an interesting fixture, considering the nature of the competition. It allows such fixtures where David and Goliath collide.

"It's a game for us to win because every competition that Pirates play in, we play to win. It's gonna be an opportunity to win the game and go on to the next round."

"The mentality remains the same, you know, we play every competition to win it, but we take each game as it comes.

"It could be the league or the Nedbank Cup, the mentality remains the same, we want to win every game," the player added.
