In the second meeting of the Soweto Derby in the Betway Premiership, Kaizer Chiefs will be seeking to avenge their 1-0 defeat against bitter rivals Orlando Pirates in the reverse fixture. The match will take place at FNB Stadium on matchday 28. Let's head into the match prediction.
Kaizer Chiefs enter this important clash aiming to halt their slump in this fixture. The hosts have lost four consecutive matches against Orlando Pirates. This is their perfect chance to secure a first league win since February 2023. However, their recent league performance doesn't offer much inspiration for a return to winning ways.
Indeed, Orlando Pirates have triumphed on four consecutive occasions when playing against Kaizer Chiefs and are eyeing a fifth win. The visitors are in contention for the league title this season. They are 12 points behind table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns. The good news, though, is that they have two games in hand. Let's head into the stats of this match!

Kaizer Chiefs - Orlando Pirates: Form Analysis
Kaizer Chiefs are enduring a disappointing run of results in the Betway Premiership. They are relying on a top-half finish in the league standings to save what has been a lackluster season.
Amakhosi have been struggling to win games lately. They are without a win in six league games heading into this clash, recording three draws and three losses.
Last time out, Nasreddine Nabi's men saw their floundering performance hit a new low as they lost 2-1 at home to underdogs, Marumo Gallants. They face a stiff assignment in their bid to get back to winning ways.
Orlando Pirates have won their last two away matches against Kaizer Chiefs.
Orlando Pirates' title hopes suffered a huge blow last time out against Sekhukhune United. They dropped three points in a narrow 1-0 home league defeat.
This result ended a two-match winning streak in the Betway Premiership, not to mention they were also on a four-match unbeaten run.
The Buccaneers are on the road this time and will undoubtedly fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways. So far, they are enjoying a three-match unbeaten run in unfamiliar territory (W2, D1).

Kaizer Chiefs & Orlando Pirates Squad Analysis
Kaizer Chiefs are without Wandile Duba because of suspension. Duba was one booking away from suspension against Marumo Gallants. He is set to serve a one-match ban.
With Wandile Duba out of the picture, this could see Pule Mmodi take his place this Saturday. Other than that, head coach Nasreddine Nabi won't tinker with his squad and will stick to a 4-2-3-1 formation with Ashley Du Preez leading the attack.
Wandile Duba and Nkosinathi Sibisi are both suspended for the hosts and visitors.
Orlando Pirates have suffered a huge blow in defense and will be without the talented Nkosinathi Sibisi following his second bookable offense against Sekhukhune United.
Head coach Jose Riveiro will have to improvise and find a replacement. We could see Tapelo Xoki be the likely replacement for Sibisi.
Expect some minor changes to the squad that started against Sekhukhune United. Deano van Rooyen will be introduced and will replace Bandile Shandu at left back. Evidence Makgopa will sit this one out in attack, making space for Tshegofatso Mabasa to lead the attack in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
