Kaizer ChiefsThere is an injury concern in the Chiefs camp after Wandile Duba limped off the Nedbank Cup match against Free Agents and he is doubtful for Saturday's game.
New signing Tashreeq Morris is suspended, which delays his debut, while another new acquisition Glody Lilepo is also doubtful due to work permit issues.
But Thabo Cele could make his debut for the Soweto giants.
Chiefs possible XI:Bvuma, Frosler, Cross, Ditlhokwe, Miguel, Mthethwa, Cele, Sirino, Shabalala, Mmodi, Chivaviro
BackpagePirates have won four of their last five games in all competitions while losing once and that is a fairly good run of form going into the derby.
That run includes beating African Champions Al Ahly away in Cairo in the Caf Champions League.
It could be the pedigree that could worry Chiefs who have three wins and two defeats in their last five matches.
The Buccaneers are second on the PSL table with six points fewer than log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns but they have a game in hand.
Amakhosi, on the other hand, are fifth on the table as they struggle for consistency in the league as they head into this first Soweto Derby of the season.
| Date | Match | Competition |

| March 9, 2024 | Pirates 3-2 Chiefs | PSL |
| November 11, 2023 | Chiefs 0-1 Pirates | PSL |
