The second Soweto Derby match is set to take place at the FNB Stadium on 3 May at 15:00. Here, we will witness the age-old rivalry between the nation’s most renowned football teams: Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
This match is set to deliver an unforgettable spectacle, with both teams eager to claim the victory. A win for Pirates will get them on track to supersede Chiefs, while a victory for Chiefs means an even firmer grip on their claim of having the most Soweto Derby wins. A park-and-ride system will be implemented once again to help fans easily access the stadium, ensuring a seamless experience for those who will be attending the highly anticipated game.
To get a feel for the excitement around the match, PDBY spoke to two dedicated fans from each side:
Mbali (Kaizer Chiefs Supporter)
“I support Chiefs, [so] this is more than just a game. It is about pride, about history. We may have lost the last match, but this time, Chiefs will show Pirates who truly rules Soweto. My prediction is 3-1, with Chiefs claiming the win. There is no greater feeling than silencing Pirates fans after the win.”
Jacob (Orlando Pirates Supporter)
“The Derby is always intense, but let us not forget that Pirates have historically dominated [it], including our last match. My prediction? 2-1, with Pirates claiming the victory once again. What I enjoy most about supporting Pirates is winning the big, tough games and, of course, lifting trophies!”
The tension will surely be at an all-time high as these two football giants clash once again. There is no doubt that this match will once again deliver the “excitement” regardless of which team fans support. Make sure that you are there to witness it all, as this is a match you will not want to miss!
