Orlando Pirates - Kaizer Chiefs: Form Analysis
Orlando Pirates will head into this match with 30 points after 19 league games, trailing the top four teams by just a single point, though they have played a game more than Matsatsantsa and Stellies. The Buccaneers passed up a golden opportunity to move up the ranks in midweek, though, managing only a 1-1 draw against bottom club Cape Town Spurs. Nevertheless, that result did take them to four games unbeaten, including two wins and two draws. At home, Pirates have taken 17 points from a possible 27 this season with a record of five wins, two draws, and two losses. Notably, their only defeats were against league leaders Sundowns and second-placed Stellenbosch. Pirates currently have the bragging rights in the Soweto Derby, having won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in November, and they are the marginal favourites in this one as well.
Meanwhile, after an underwhelming first half of the season, Kaizer Chiefs have gotten themselves to 29 points after 19 games and are back in contention for a top-three finish. They come into this encounter following a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows last weekend, which extended their current unbeaten league run to seven matches, including four wins and three draws. Their only disappointment in that time was a penalty shootout loss to Milford at the end of last month that saw them exit the Nedbank Cup. A notable improvement for AmaKhosi lately has been their defence, which has kept three consecutive clean sheets and has only conceded once in their last seven games ahead of this one. The visitors have taken 11 from a possible 27 points on the road this season and are unbeaten in their last four away matches (W2 D2 L0).

Orlando Pirates & Kaizer Chiefs Squad Analysis
Miguel Timm has returned from his two-match suspension for Pirates and will be hoping to make the starting 11 here after coming off the bench against Cape Town Spurs in midweek. Olisa Ndah was suspended for the last outing due to an accumulation of yellow cards and will be eligible for selection here, while Karim Kimvuidi was substituted at halftime in the week, and there are question marks over his fitness levels.
Kaizer Chiefs' veteran, Itumeleng Khune, has reunited with the team after a period of separation to fulfill specific conditions mandated for his return to the side. However, Wandile Duba's availability for Kaizer Chiefs is uncertain due to a significant fitness concern. After scoring the only goal during the midweek victory against Golden Arrows, he sustained an ankle injury and is flagged as a major doubt for Saturday’s derby.
