Key Clashes To Look Out For In The Pirates-chiefs Derby

We pick three key battles that can potentially influence the outcome of Saturday's Soweto Derby.

Tshegofatso Mabasa v Inacio Miguel

Having scored in both Pirates' last two games against Al Ahly and Richards Bay, the 28-year-old Mabasa, who's already the club's joint second-highest scorer with 41 goals, will be eager to score what would be his first-ever goal against Chiefs after failing in 11 attempts.

Miguel's physical strength has helped him win some tough duels in the league and Chiefs will again rely on the experienced 29-year-old Angolan to tighten things up at the back, hoping he doesn't go overboard with his tackles as that has seen him receive six yellow cards already this season.

Makhehleni Makhaula v Sibongiseni Mthethwa
