Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs: LIVE UPDATES


“I am not going to profess that I have any secret formula because I think that would be a recipe for disaster.” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter said.

“But whenever you go to a derby, be it the Soweto derby against Orlando Pirates or any other, you’ve got to try and be at your best on the day.

“When I looked at the log, there’s four games we have to play (if Kaizer Chiefs win the court case) and we still have to play Mamelodi Sundowns also. So that can be a 12-point swing.

“If we take our focus off the boardroom saga, where six points are concerned and focus on just the three points in this game that cements our intentions. I think that’s important.

“The quicker we can get the other things sorted out, the easier it will be for us to put some pressure on Sundowns, if that’s possible.

“But as Kaizer Chiefs’ coach, you’ve got to say, ‘let’s make the best that we can from the situation we are facing’.”
