Watch as Willard Katsande and Ernst Middendorp of Kaizer Chiefs, as well as Milutin Sredojevic of Orlando Pirates speak to the media ahead of the Soweto derby.
The Soweto giants will do battle in the 166th edition of South Africa’s biggest derby at the FNB stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The match-up is filled with various sub-plots, as the Amakhosi are currently on their longest run in history without a win against their rivals, their last victory coming in December 2014.
Pirates head into the clash firmly in the race for the title, sitting third on the log with 32 points after 18 games, just five points off the top. Chiefs, on the other hand, are 10 points off the top, sitting sixth with 27 points from 19 games.
