Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel, Squad newsPSL 09:54 SAST 2022/10/29 The two Soweto giants will be at FNB Stadium to meet for the first time this season in what is the major highlight of the weekend's fixtures Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will renew their rivalry in a Premier Soccer League confrontation on Saturday. It is the biggest fixture on the South African football calendar and for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic struck, the Soweto Derby will be played before a capacity crowd. Separated by just one point, fourth-placed Pirates are a rung above Amakhosi.
Midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee, who spent last season struggling with injuries, is back to full fitness and could be handed some minutes by the Sundowns coaches. Gift Motupa also endured fitness issues and has to fight for a place in the team and it is to be seen if he makes the matchday squad. Competition for places in the Sundowns squad appears to have grown stiffer as seen after goalkeeper Denis Onyango, Andile Jali and Rushine de Reuck were benched against City. Former Sundowns midfielder Sibusiso Vilakazi is now in the books of TS Galaxy and could be facing his former paymasters on Wednesday.
Following an impressive display in last Friday’s 2-0 victory away at Cape Town City, Sundowns have already sounded warning bells to their opponents about what to expect from them in the months ahead. Sundowns’ performance against the Citizens could be a huge concern for TS Galaxy who would be out to frustrate their much-fancied opponents. The Brazilians are on a quest for a record-extending sixth straight league title and they would be pushing for another set of three points on Wednesday.
Goodman Mosele, Ben Motshwari or Thabang Monare could step in for Timm. Attackers Thembinkosi Lorch and Vincent Pule are ruled out of Saturday’s match with long-term injuries. Goalkeeper Richard Ofori is a doubt although he was pictured participating in full training this week. Chiefs striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana’s availability is clouded by uncertainty after he limped off in last weekend’s MTN8 clash against AmaZulu.
Both the traditional giants are bidding to stay close to log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who have six points more than the Buccaneers. Pirates and Chiefs go into this match on the backdrop of experiencing contrasting fortunes in recent matches. The Buccaneers have not lost in their last four games and recorded convincing victories in their last two outings, including beating Sundowns 3-0 in the MTN8 semi-finals last weekend.

Match PreviewWeek in, week out, Zwane has been complaining about both his defence and strikeforce where there are glaring shortcomings. The Amakhosi coach has repeatedly been saying they are fixing these departments but there haven’t been significant improvements.
They come up against TS Galaxy who opened their campaign with a 0-0 draw against AmaZulu on Sunday. Galaxy would be keen to score their first goal of the season which would make Masandawana concede in the second game of the campaign. Also, victory for Sundowns would be crucial ahead of Saturday's blockbuster encounter against Kaizer Chiefs.
