Soweto Derby H2H
Pirates have held the upper hand in recent meetings between these great rivals. The Buccaneers have won the last three meetings across all competitions, including each of the last two in the league, most recently that 3-2 success for the Sea Robbers in March 2024 with Monnapule Saleng bagging a double. That stopped a curious and somewhat surprising run of five consecutive wins for Chiefs in Soweto Derby league clashes with the Sea Robbers. These rivals lock horns again on Saturday 01 February at Orlando Stadium from 15:30.
Wandile Duba will miss the Derby
According to Soccer-Laduma, 20-year-old Wandile Duba will be on the sidelines for over a month after sustaining an injury against Free Agents. He’s therefore ruled out of the Soweto Derby.
Best Chiefs XI?
Fiacre Ntwari; Njabulo Blom, Inacio Miguel, Rushwin Dortley, Bradley Cross; Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Thabo Cele; Makabi Glody Lilepo, Mduduzi Shabalala, Gaston Sirino; Wandile Duba.
Having the technical security of midfielder Njabulo Blom at right-back makes Chiefs play more narrowly. However, it also allows them to control more of the possession. Youngsters Mduduzi Shabalala and Wandile Diba have made themselves indispensable members of the side so other pieces of the puzzle must be moved around them. At R9.6 million, new boy Glody Lilepo will be expected to start straight away to make a return on that investment in his services.
