Cape Town - The biggest match on the South African top-flight calendar takes place on Saturday as Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates lock horns in the 155th installment of the Soweto Derby.

Historically, it has been Amakhosi who hold the advantage in the tie, having secured victory on 67 separate occasions - including in the reverse fixture in December - compared to the Buccaneers' 36 wins.

The Glamour Boys also enter this weekend's clash as Premiership leaders, while they hold a 14-point advantage over the fourth-placed Sea Robbers following Wednesday's round of fixtures.
