GU go into the season four finals on the back of a 14-game unbeaten run in the Orange FA Cup. It is a battle of pride and history as the two teams are the most successful in the Orange Botswana-sweetened FA Cup. The Reds’ 14-game Orange FA Cup stretches from the season two edition of the competition. The team last tasted defeat in the Orange FA Cup on March 2019, in a 1-0 loss to Extension Gunners. Orapa United are in their second Orange FA Cup final and will be looking to make a 100% win record. Moyagoleele has raked 14 straight wins and two titles along the way since their defeat to Gunners in 2019. This makes GU the most successful team in the Orange Botswana-sponsored tournament with two out of three wins. The Reds were off to a rather worrying start in their title defence this season. The first two wins were after the team was taken to penalty shootouts.
In this Orange FA Cup edition, GU are a team that is unsettled when playing against a matching opponent. A win over minnows Mogoditshane Fighters brought the hope back while a semi-final win in the Gaborone derby tie against Rollers will give the team an extra ounce of confidence. GU are looking to make a third consecutive Orange FA Cup victory. The Ostriches would welcome the underdog tag ahead of the final and remains the only team, besides GU, to taste the competition win. The team is eyeing its second Orange FA Cup which will equal GU’s wins. The team’s coach, Taurai Mangwiro would be a worried man ahead of the final tie as his side failed to find the back of the net in open play in the last three rounds. Despite having attacking arsenal, the Ostriches have been barren and will look to turn their fortunes around in the final match. Both teams are looking to return to the Africa inter-club competition and a win on Saturday will guarantee a spot in next season's CAF Confederations Cup.
