Derby Fever!!!



The whole nation has been engulfed by derby fever. Battle lines have been drawn, friendships have been put aside and some couples are going to give each other the silent treatment if either of their teams lose come the end of the 90 minutes! Still don't know what I'm talking about? It is arguably Africa's biggest derby match, Kaiser Chiefs VS Orlando Pirates!! 

Pirates go into this game having won the original derby against Moroka Swallows mid week. Chiefs will be looking to recover from a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Platinum Stars, which saw them surrender a 15-match unbeaten streak. However, Chiefs will be without their talisman captain, Itumeleng Khune, who is out injured. Orlando Pirates have been boosted with the return of key players, Siyabonga Sangweni, Rooi Mahamutsa & Patrick Phungwayo. One other big matter will be whether Lehlohonolo Majoro will get to play against his former club. 

Will Pirates add more injury onto Chiefs and gain a further 3 points? Or will the Glamour Boys pull one over the Mighty Buccaneers? Only time will tell! Tune into Supersport 4 or SABC 1 for live coverage at the FNB stadium tomorrow!!
