South African Premier News
Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will resume hostilities on Saturday at FNB Stadium in a South African Premiership Soweto Derby that will be Fernando da Cruz's first in charge of the Glamour Boys.
Although both clubs have struggled to keep pace with Mamelodi Sundowns in recent years, the Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs remains South African, and even African, football's most anticipated fixture.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs unexpectedly lost their respective Friday CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup second preliminary round ties, but both have the chance to convert disappointment into blessings in disguise.
Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates all picked up wins in their last 16 Carling Knockout ties.
South Africa's Carling Knockout Cup will kick off on Saturday, with all 16 Premiership teams playing their first matches in this edition of the single-leg knockout tournament between then and Wednesday.
