This season's Chiefs and Pirates are having contrasting performances as far as performance is concerned. They are simply worlds apart.
Whereas the Sea Robbers are hunting trophies on multiple fronts, Chiefs are chasing only one.
Bucs are Caf Champions League semi-finalists and are set to face Pyramids of Egypt in the second round after the first-leg showdown ended in a 0-0 draw at the FNB Stadium.
Jose Riveiro's side are also applying pressure on Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League title race.
Sitting second, Pirates are far ahead of Chiefs, who are eighth, with 16 points separating the two Soweto rivals. While Chiefs are desperately hoping to finish in the top eight, Bucs on the other hand, are trying to end Sundowns' dominance in the league.
Pirates, the defending champions, are set to face Amakhosi in the Nedbank Cup final, with each set of fans wishing that their side emerges victorious, given the bragging rights the match carries.
