Spurs will meet the Orlando Pirates on Saturday in the final of the Vodacom Challenge and Redknapp predicts a tough match against the PSL champions.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been very impressed with the standard of football I’ve seen here so far and we’re looking forward to another exciting, skilful game of football in the final,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The games have been played in a good spirit and I’m sure Saturday’s game will be exactly the same with good skill on show. It will be another showcase for football in South Africa.<\/p>\n

“It’s been fantastic preparation for us in South Africa and we’ve had two very tough games,
I thought the football the Pirates played on Tuesday was of the highest level and they certainly made us work hard to stay in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johannesburg\u2019s Ellis Park will play host to what may prove to be a challenging match for Tottenham and fans will be hoping to see Steven Pienaar, who Redknapp admitted was hopeful of starting the game after injury.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping Steven will be fit to start,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

“I’d like him to play here, it’s home for him and we’re looking to give him a start. He’s had an injury, but we’re hoping to get at least 45 minutes out of him.”<\/p>\n
