Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane believes it is vital his side makes home advantage count against Orlando Pirates in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final on Saturday.

Chiefs host the Buccaneers at Soccer City before reviving hostilities a few kilometres down the Soweto highway in the return duel at Orlando Stadium on September 24.

Amakhosi can derive extra motivation from the fact that they are yet to beat the Sea Robbers in this competition since it was adopted by MTN in 2008.

The Soweto giants have met three times, with Pirates winning twice while the other contest finished in a draw.

“A win is very important for us on Saturday because we are playing at home,” Letsholonyane says.
