Pirates Ooze Confidence Ahead Of Derby

Betway Premiership title contenders, Orlando Pirates are oozing confidence ahead of Saturdays highly anticipated Soweto Derby against rivals Kaizer Chiefs.

Despite a postponed premiership match against troubled Royal AM, Pirates recorded a comfortable 3-1 victory over Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup on Sunday,

The Buccaneers are currently second in the premiership, six points behind Mamelodi Sundowns, but they have a game in hand. Saturdays match at the FNB Stadium will be the first Derby of the season, and it will feature two teams desperate for league success.

A Derby is an unpredictable fixture, and it often produces the unexpected. There has not been much separating between the two teams in recent years.

In their last five matches, Pirates have won three, while Amakhosi were victorious on two occasions. But Pirates have been the more impressive and consistent of the two this season and their record in the CAF Champions League speaks for itself.
