BackpagepixPirates started the season by losing their two PSL games but picked themselves when they edged Stellenbosch 1-0 last week.
They then booted Mamelodi Sundowns out of the MTN8 and reaching the final of this competition for a fourth consecutive season gives them confidence going into Wednesday's match.
The Buccaneers come up against Orbit who have won just one league game while losing two.
This will be the first-ever top-flight league meeting between Pirates and Orbit.
