Chiefs v Pirates In Numbers Absa Premiership: Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates Date & Time: 26 October 2013, 15.30 Venue: FNB Stadium View Soccer-Laduma’s TV schedule Orlando Pirates come into the Soweto Derby on a superb run of form, which has seen them take the favourites tag according to some. However, previous games between these two sides have shown that, in a derby, current form doesnt count. Kaizer Chiefs may not have been as convincing as they would have liked in recent games, but are also proving difficult to beat. KAIZER CHIEFS Averages per game for the season: Shots on goal: 18.09 Entries into final third: 69.18 Successful passes: 280.45 Possession: 55.21% Successful tackles: 22.27 Last three results: Free State Stars 1-1 (P) Kaizer Chiefs (Musona 89’) Polokwane City 0-3 Kaizer Chiefs (Mashamaite 34’, 68’; Musona 74’) Orlando Pirates 1-1 Kaizer Chiefs (Parker 38’) Key performers (minimum three appearances): Defender: Tsepo Masilela, 2.8 tackles per game Midfielder: Renielwe Letsholonyane, 53.7 passes per game Forward/Striker: Knowledge Musona, 4 shots per game Top goal scorer: Bernard Parker (5) Top assists: Bernard Parker (5) ORLANDO PIRATES Averages per game for the season: Shots on goal: 18.31 Entries into final third: 70.38 Successful passes: 336 Possession: 55.2% Successful tackles: 28.5 Last three results: Orlando Pirates 4-0 Golden Arrows (Bacela 11, 42, 57’; Erasmus 34’) Esperance 1-1 Orlando Pirates (Mahamutsa 52’) Mpumalanga Black Aces 1-3 Orlando Pirates (Bacela 30’, 85’; Manyisa 90+3’) Key performers: Defender: Thabo Matlaba, 4.08 tackles to game Midfielder: Andile Jali, 67.92 passes per game Forward/Striker: Lennox Bacela, 3.33 shots per game Top goal scorer: Lennox Bacela (10) Top assists: Daine Klate (5) KEY STATS: Looking at Lennox Bacelas form in front of goal, Chiefs will have a challenge to ensure they close him down. On the other side of the fence, it is interesting to note the Bernard Parker is creating as many goals as he scores, so he will be the one that Pirates will have to contain.
