BREAKING: ORLANDO PIRATES IN HOT WATER WITH THE PSL!

Chiefs have drawn two and lost one of their last three matches. Therefore, accumulating just one point out of s possible six in the DStv Premiership while being knocked out of the MTN8 by AmaZulu.
However, Pirates have just come off their best performance in recent memory – a 3-0 whitewash over PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns! They are in the MTN8 final and they won their last PSL encounter 2-0 against Golden Arrows. To make matters worse, Chiefs dropped points against some pretty average opponents, drawing 2-2 with TS Galaxy and losing 2-1 to Chippa United. In summary, Chiefs are underperforming while Pirates are in the form of their lives!

Amakhosi are leaking far to many goals by their standards. Furthermore, they are struggling to find the ideal centre-back pairing.
In contrast, the Bucs have corrected their attacking problems and they have scored five goals in their last two matches – including three against The Brazilians. The likes of Kermit Erasmus and Monnapule Saleng could cause Amakhosi all sorts of problems at the back if they don’t tighten up – and fast! Their is no room for costly errors or soft goals here,

3) PIRATES A DIFFERENT BEAST UNDER JOSE RIVEIRO

Riveiro has brought in the likes of Kermit Erasmus, Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, Miguel Timm and Bafana Bafana striker Evidence Makgopa. While promoting Saleng, who has become one of the most exciting players in the PSL.
Unfortunately, Timm is SUSPENDED. However, Riveiro is getting the best out of Erasmus, Ndlondlo and he still has Makgopa ready to make his mark. Unfortunately, Amakhosi have had a mixed bag with their signings with Siyethemba Sithebe underperforming and Ashley Du Preez lacking goals. This will have to change on Saturday, if Chiefs are to avoid a hiding in the Soweto derby.
