Will these two attackers fire?
Leonardo Castro (Chiefs)
Not blessed with pace, Castro’s potent weapon is his copious work rate. The 29-year-old Colombian is expected to be a thorn in the Pirates backline’s flesh tomorrow. Castro has scored eight goals and assisted four times in 26 games in all competitions this term. Castro scored Chiefs’s goal in the last derby, the TKO semifinal loss in November last year. His aerial prowess makes him a threat at set-pieces.
Justin Shonga (Pirates)
Having already banged in eight goals and notched up five assists in 28 games across all competitions, Shonga is the focal point when Bucs attack. Proving his big-game temperament, the attacker, 22, scored the winner in the previous Soweto derby when Pirates outfoxed Chiefs 2-1 in the Telkom Knockout semifinal in November last year. His agility, combined with his ability to fire off powerful shots with either foot makes Shonga special.
