Soweto Derby pre-match chatter
In-form Orlando Pirates have won five of their last six matches across all competitions and enter the derby in great shape. Meanwhile, this is a pivotal moment for Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane. His side has won just a solitary PSL match in the whole of 2023. Three points here and he might earn a stay of execution. Another defeat, however, would raise more questions around his suitability for this massive coaching role.
