The supporters of both Amakhosi and Amabhakaniya are expected to fill the FNB Stadium to capacity as these two giants of South African football will be playing for the all-important three points on Saturday.

While many might view the clash as holding little importance,
With Mamelodi Sundowns having opened a large gap at the summit of the DStv Premiership log and look on their way to another league title, many might view the derby as holding little importance.
In arguably the country's biggest football fixture, the clash presents an opportunity to chase for a second place finish, with a CAF Champions League spot to play for.
Also, there is pride and bragging rights to consider, according to former Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane, who has fond memories of the Soweto derby during his Amakahosi days.
"Look, despite the consistency part that I am worried about from the side of Chiefs, I think they will rise to the occasion against Pirates. But I'm not too sure if Pirates will want to lose against Chiefs again in the league this season. In fact, in recent seasons Pirates haven't been lucky in terms of getting good results from Chiefs," said Mlwane, speaking to the Siya crew.

"I think Pirates will come out guns blazing to ensure that they win this game this time around. If I have to put my head on the block, I think Pirates will win this game although it is difficult for me to openly say this, being a former Chiefs player. But football is unpredictable and anything can happen on the day," he said.
