Former Chippa United head coach Vladislav Heric says there is no difference between Orlando Pirates and the Gqeberha-based club when it comes to current form.
On Saturday, the Chilli Boys welcome the Sea Robbers at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals.
Heric believes the two sides have equal chances of beating each other in the final four encounter.

"There is no walk-over in the Nedbank Cup because all the teams are always highly motivated," Heric tells KickOff.
"Do you remember how Baroka beat both Moroka Swallows and Kaizer Chiefs in this very same competition? They did all that playing in the ABC Motsepe League.
"Both these teams Orlando Pirates and Chippa United are equal going into this match and they will put everything they have to make sure they win it.
"Chippa United they are a very good team, they have very good midfielders who know how to play.
"They are a very strong team since that Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali came back.
"The spine of this Chippa team is very strong, therefore it can go either way, Pirates are not gonna have an easy game against them.
"From my point of view, there is no favorite, they are equal, they are 50/50.
"It's the momentum of play that will decide, one mistake will cost any of these two teams."
Kick-off on Saturday is 15:00.
