The pre-season tournament was launched last month and already, the supporters from both sides have been busy voting for who they want to see starting the match on 31 July 2021.

Amakhosi fans have made their decision so far to go ahead and start with their trusted Itumeleng Khune at goals, sidelining Daniel Akpeyi and Bruce Bvuma.

Looking at the on field players who have missed out, the likes of veteran Bernard Parker, Philani Zulu and Kearyn Baccus aren’t that popular with the Chiefs fans.

Youngsters Njabulo Blom, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Siyabonga Ngezana make the line-up so far, as well as striker Samir Nurkovic who scored in the last encounter between the two sides.

Looking at the Bucs line-up, Ghanian shot-stopper Richard Ofori is the preferred choice for the Ghosts.

While experienced defender Happy Jele has been partnered with Thulani Hlatshwayo at the back.

Siphesihle Ndlovu, Thabang Monare and Nkanyiso Zungu have been left-out in midfield. Bucs fans have went for Ben Motshwari and Fortune Makaringe.

While the popular Thembinkosi Lorch also makes the line-up as well Deon Hotto, who has won the hearts of club’s fans following a solid season in his first campaign with the team.

The Buccaneers remain the most victorious team in the pre-season Soweto derby cup tournament. They have lifted the Carling Black Label Cup five times, whereas Amakhosi have only won the tournament three times.
