The MTN8 semi-final second legs are here, and with everything still to play for, the heat is officially on.

Pirates hold a massive edge following back-to-back wins over Babina Noko, including a 1–0 first-leg away victory. Boitumelo Radiopane seized his chance in mid-week, stepping up in an new look attacking lineup.

The task for Sekhukhune gets tougher with coach Kaze suspended after his mid-week red card. That being said, Babina Noko have actually scored more goals in the MTN8 than in the PSL.

Meanwhile, expect Oswin Appollis to feature heavily after being tactically rested mid-week by Abdeslam Ouaddou.

Elsewhere, Sundowns were stunned 1–0 in the first leg thanks to Junior Dion’s 37th-minute strike. Miguel Cardoso got his response mid-week as Masandawana put five past AmaZulu, firing a massive warning shot.

Yet Abafana Bes'thende arrive with genuine title-winning credentials—they are the only team yet to concede a goal in this year's tournament. With Dion scoring back-to-back goals, including a diving header against Stellenbosch, can Arrows pull off the ultimate aggregate upset?
