The iconic Sowe to Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs is set to kick off this afternoon at 15h30 CAT at a sold-out FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, with both clubs chasing valuable Betway Premiership points.
This latest chapter in one of South African football’s fiercest rivalries, the 184th competitive meeting between the two giants sees Pirates sitting second in the league standings, while Chiefs aim to close the gap in their pursuit of continental qualification.
Both sides arrive at the derby under pressure after recent setbacks, Pirates were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, and Chiefs suffered a league defeat midweek.
The match carries massive significance, not only for bragging rights, but also for momentum in the title race and top-four ambitions.
