Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs lock horns twice inside a week. Here’s all you need to know before this critical Soweto Derby double-header.
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates meet twice on the bounce
These sworn Soweto Derby rivals meet in the Betway Premiership on Saturday, 03 May at 15:00. They meet again the following Saturday, 10 May in the Nedbank Cup final. That match also kicks off at 15:00. It’s crunch time!
Pirates fall out of the Champions League
On a dramatic night in Cairo, Orlando Pirates were defeated 3-2 in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals by Pyramids FC. They have already secured silverware this season in the form of the MTN8. However, Bucs supporters were desperate to rule the continent. They’re still in the Betway Premiership title race but must claw back a nine-point deficit, with two games in hand. There’s also a Nedbank Cup final on the horizon against Kaizer Chiefs. For now, however, continental heartbreak will be a bitter pill to swallow.
