Soweto Derby: Orlando Pirates Vs. Kaizer Chiefs

It’s finally Saturday. Can the Pirates defeat Amakhosi for the third time in a row? It will be revealed in a few hours.

The Chiefs suffered 1-0 and 2-1 losses in the two prior Soweto Derby events. Schalkwyk, a former player, predicts a 1-1 draw for today’s score.

The player from Klerksdorp claims that Amakhosi and the Buccaneers have not played with much intensity, particularly up front.

“I intend to pursue a draw,” Schalkwyk stated to FARPost.

The former forward for the Pirates and Chiefs continued, “Both teams are not in top form right now and cannot really score more goals.”

Therefore, I believe that the Soweto Derby will be close. I’m going for a 1-1 draw as a result. Both clubs have struggled lately with finishing in the front. In my opinion, they ought to bolster their offensive capabilities. The Chiefs defeated Golden Arrows on Tuesday to score their first goal of the year.

Where Will the Match be Won and Lost?

The former Chiefs and Pirates scorer continued by predicting that two things will dominate this Soweto derby. Wide play by the Pirates and dependable defense by Amakhosi.

“Pirates can defeat Chiefs on the wings because of their excellent wingers and quickness. Maybe taking the ball wide and placing it in the box will help Pirates win because they have players like [Patrick] Maswanganyi,” Schalkwyk continued.

In regards to the Soweto derby, Schalkwyk observed, “Chiefs have been strong at the back, defending very well in their recent matches, and they have not been conceding a lot of goals.”
