Kaizer Chiefs host Orlando Pirates in the first Soweto Derby of the PSL season and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
Mamelodi Sundowns are currently the 1/12 favourites to defend their title and you can get 66/1 Kaizer Chiefs and 80/1 Orlando Pirates pulling off a miraculous comeback.

KAIZER CHIEFS
Kaizer Chiefs are currently 11th on the log and they have been a mixed bag in recent times with 2 victories and 3 losses in their last 5 games. They beat Cape Town Spurs 3-2 at home last time out in a game where they started as 9/20 favourites. Overall they have one of the better home records in the League with 3 wins and 2 draws in 6 starts. 50% of the Kaizer Chiefs home games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and their defence has been firm and they have only conceded 4 times in those six matches.
ORLANDO PIRATES
Orlando Pirates are 10th on the log, 2 points behind Chiefs, but with 2 games in hand. They broke a 4 match run without a victory when they beat Sekhukhune 1-0 at home last time out, a game where bookmakers were offering 13/20 on them to win the match. Their last away game was a 2-1 loss to Cape Town Spurs who were 9/2 underdogs on the day. Pirates have yet to win on the road this season, but being a Soweto Derby this is very much a game played on neutral territory.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides last met in the Nedbank Cup with Orlando Pirates winning in extra time, but focusing in on their recent League history, Kaizer Chiefs have had the edge winning 5 in a row against Orlando Pirates. All 5 of these games were by 1 goal margins and last season Chiefs won this fixture 1-0 and also the reverse fixture at Pirates 1-0.
Although this fixture is generally considered low scoring, 5 of the last 10 head-to-heads in the League have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.

Chiefs 37/20
Draw 19/10
Pirates 7/4
It has been a long time since we had a goalless draw between these sides in the League and you have to go back to October 2017 when this fixture finished 0-0. Goalless draws between the sides were regular occurrences in those days and I am going to have a bet that these sides cancel each other out.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 0-0 at 5/1
Other markets which will interest punters include over 2.5 goals which is trading at 31/20 and if you think both teams will find the back of the net you can get 21/20 about that happening.
