Former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs players Lucky Lekgwathi and Lehlohonolo Majoro have placed their predictions for this weekend’s much anticipated Soweto Derby clash at FNB Stadium.
The biggest fixture on the local football calendar takes centre stage once again at the sold-out Calabash on Saturday, with the Buccaneers looking to bounce back from their midweek defeat and keep grip of second place while Amakhosi are desperately looking to move back into the top eight bracket.
Even though Pirates have suffered back-to-back defeats, ‘Phinda Mzala’ went for a straight 2-0 victory for the Ghost while Majoro settled for a 2-2 stalemate.
“My prediction, 2-0 to Orlando Pirates,” Lekgwathi said at the Soweto Derby presser.

“Uhhh…2-2,” Major predicted.
Pirates have won the last four derbies, including the reverse fixture when a late penalty by Patrick Maswanganyi decided the tie in Pirates’ favour.
There are currently 15 points between the two teams, with Pirates sitting on 46 points while Chiefs only have 30 despite having played four games more.
