Betting Tips: Chiefs v Pirates – Who Will Rule Soweto?

The match of the week is one of the biggest derbies in the world. Kaizer Chiefs will host rivals Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby on Saturday, October 21. The two teams will be fighting for three points, however, bragging rights are also on the table.

Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to get back to winning ways after their midweek defeat against Kaizer Chiefs, as they take on AmaZulu. Usuthu have eight points from seven encounters and will be looking to add salt to the wounds of Pitso Mosimane’s side.

On Sunday, October 22, Chippa United will host Cape Town City in an ABSA Premiership league encounter. The Mother City-outfit have been facing some tough times, losing their MTN8 final and their midweek match. They will be hoping to turn the corner, however, Chippa will be no walkover.

MATCH OF THE WEEK:

Kaizer Chiefs v Orlando Pirates (Premier Soccer League)

League standings: Kaizer Chiefs 6th & Orlando Pirates 4th

Useful facts: It’s the Soweto derby, considered one of the most fiercely contested matches in African football. Kaizer Chiefs coach Steven Komphela is under massive pressure and a win against their archrivals will do a lot to bring back the belief from the fans. Only three points separate the two teams on the league table. With Thamsanqa Gabuza in good form and Amakhosi suffering a crisis at the back, expect a lot of attacking football on display.

Mamelodi Sundowns v AmaZulu (Premier Soccer League)

League standings: Mamelodi Sundowns 5th & AmaZulu 9th

Useful facts: The Brazilians, who look enterprising with the likes of Themba Zwane, Percy Tau and Sibusiso Vilakazi in their arsenal, will pile the pressure on the log leaders with a win against Usuthu. AmaZulu have been blowing hot and cold and are a tricky opposition for Pitso Mosimane’s men. Rhulani Manzini will be looking to continue with his good form for the visitors.

Chippa United v Cape Town City (Premier Soccer League) 

League standings: Chippa United 12th & Cape Town City 3rd

Useful facts: It’s win or bust for the Chilli Boys, who are in dangerous territory on the league table. They will be fancying their chances playing at home in front of their buoyant fans. Tebogo Moloi is searching for his first win since replacing Dan Malesela. Benni McCarthy’s charges, on the other side, will be looking to continue with their impressive start to the season and to bounce back from the disappointment of losing the MTN 8 final to SuperSport United.

What a gentleman – Maponyane

We have asked five former Kaizer Chiefs players from five different decennia, starting with the foundation of the club on 7 January 1970 to now, to talk about their relationship with Chairman Kaizer Motaung for his 73rd birthday on Monday, 16 October 2017. Marks Maponyane (1980s) “What a gentleman,” Marks Maponyane says about Chairman Kaizer Motaung. “He’s also somebody who is prepared to listen and give honest advice when needed. Kaizer really loves his team and the beautiful game of soccer.” Motaung was nearing the end of his soccer career in the seventies, when Maponyane was still a teenager. “I would often go with a few friends to watch Kaizer Chiefs play,” the former striker remembers. “We would walk from Meadowlands to Orlando after having saved money during the week to be able to buy a ticket.” Maponyane played for the Glamour Boys from 1981 until 1991. “I was completely in awe when meeting Kaizer for the first time,” he admits. He points out that “as much as Kaizer played th...

City To Extend Ndou’s Stay?

Sources have alerted the Siya crew that despite earlier reports that Polokwane City intended to part ways with veteran striker Rendani Ndou, the Limpopo-based club may now look to retain the services of the 30-year-old forward.  Ndou has been with Rise and Shine for the past three years and reports surfaced that he could be making an exit when his contract comes to an end. However, Siya sources have revealed that City may look to keep the experienced striker at the club.    Earlier reports suggested that Ndou along with teammates Tshepo Tema and Randy Ngobe were left out in the cold by the club as they were no longer in the future plans of coach Bernard Molekwa.

SuperSport Jet Out For Giant CAF Clash

SuperSport United fly out of South Africa this morning to embark on their CAF Confederation Cup semi-final clash against Club Africain in Tunisia. Matsatsantsa have lost only one away game in the CCC this season in their march into the final four – back against Al Ahly Shendi in March and know that they need at least a score draw to stand any chance of progressing into the final.   The club are already enjoying their best ever run in a CAF tournament, and Eric Tinkler’s side will be hoping to keep it going as they eye a spot in the last tie of the competition.   SuperSport – fresh off the back of their MTN8 victory, fly this morning but will stop in Dubai before completing their trip to Tunisia on Friday ahead of Sunday night’s encounter.  Tinkler’s team salvaged a 1-1 draw in the home leg against Africain, conceding what could prove to be a vital away goal from the penalty spot. They have only failed to score in four of their 15 CAF ga...
