It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Kaizer Chiefs form and stats
This is expected to be a close game, with Kaizer Chiefs perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kaizer Chiefs as a small favourite), we find seven games. Kaizer Chiefs has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
It's the first season at a new level for Kaizer Chiefs as they were promoted from Premier League last season. Happy days that were secured through 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from nine games. The team scored 5 goals at home last season and conceded 2. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Orlando Pirates in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Orlando Pirates, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Orlando Pirates as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 3 victories from nine games, relegation was a fact. Orlando Pirates's manager R. Mokwena are hoping to lead the team right back to Premier League at the first attempt.
