The in-form team of the season, Orlando Pirates, who have dropped points and now trail Sundowns by six points with a game in hand, will face Kaizer Chiefs, a team that has struggled to emerge from their rivals’ shadows in recent times.
This highly anticipated derby match will take place on Saturday.
Having won the last five Soweto derbies, Orlando Pirates will be looking to extend their dominance. However, Kaizer Chiefs are determined to put up a fight and derail their title hopes.
Unfortunately for Chiefs, their best player, Wandile Duba, will not be available for the match. The star player is set to be sidelined for approximately one and a half months.
In the last derby, Monnapule Saleng delivered a stunning performance, scoring twice for Orlando Pirates.
The winger had a phenomenal start to the season and was in exceptional form, but he has not played since November due to personal issues. While he is now fully fit and ready to play, he is still not expected to feature in the upcoming derby.
