Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Betting Tips - Pirates backed for victory in Soweto Derby
Orlando Pirates are tipped to win to nil against Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby. Pirates have kept 29 clean sheets in their last 40 matches and have won 32 of their last 41 games. Kaizer Chiefs have lost five of their last six league encounters with Pirates and failed to score in three of those. While Chiefs have shown some recent improvement, Pirates’ defensive solidity and dominant head-to-head record make them strong favourites for a win without conceding. The main selection is Pirates to win to nil in the Full Time Result market.

Kaizer Chiefs have won their last two matches. Before that, they drew five of six matches in the league with one victory.
Chiefs drew 0-0 at Golden Arrows with just one shot on target before 1-1 home draw vs Stellenbosch. Amakhosi lost 1-0 away to Red Arrows in a CAF Confederations Cup qualifier.
They beat Red Arrows 1-0 in the second leg but were eliminated on penalties. Kaizer Chiefs responded superbly in midweek by beat TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup as striker Wandile Duba netting a hattrick in a dominant display.
Predicted Lineups & News
Orlando Pirates (4-2-3-1): Chaine; Sigomoshe, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto; Mbatha, Mokobodi, Selepe; Masilela, Radiopane, Moremi.
Orlando Pirates remain without right back Kamogelo Sebelebele due to injury. Sihle Nduli and Andre De Jong are absent in midfield with long-term injuries.
Winger Oswin Appollis could play some part as a substitute but fellow wide player Ghampani Lungu is doubtful. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou must decide between a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Kaizer Chiefs (4-2-3-1): Petersen; Frosler, Moloisane, Miguel, Mako; Mthethwa, Maboe; Vilakazi, Shabalala, Mmodi; Duba.
Goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner is ruled out with an injury. Thabiso Monyane is absent at right back but Inacio Miguel should be available in defence.
Adolf Mtasingwa and Siphesihle Ndlovu are injured in midfield and left winger Langelihle Phili will play no part. Defender Rushwin Dortley played his first match in 18 months in midweek and may not be able to start a second match in five days.
Verdict
I see Pirates winning this match. I see a win to zero in this Soweto Derby.
