When is Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates?

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates meet in a potentially pivotal Betway Premiership clash, with the hosts still hanging in there for the title.

Orlando Pirates lead the way for Betway Premiership glory

Pirates remain in pole position to claim their first league crown since 2012 after a Relebohile Mofokeng-inspired win over AmaZulu and a routine 3-0 triumph over Marumo Gallants. Mofokeng struck in that match too, meaning the talented attacker has goals in each of his last three outings. However, to say the remainder of February could be make or break for their title ambitions is an understatement. Here’s what’s ahead in the month of love, including matches against defending champions Sundowns and surprise title rivals Kaizer Chiefs:

• Wed, 18 Feb: Pirates vs Sundowns, 19:30
• Sat, 28 Feb: Chiefs vs Pirates, 15:30

Kaizer Chiefs lurk dangerously

Chiefs have conceded only six goals in 15 league outings, the second-best record in the division. Pirates have conceded five. It’s an eye-catching February schedule for Amakhosi, which could make or break their title aspirations. Below is what’s to come for the remainder of Feb:

• Wed 18 Feb: Siwelele vs Chiefs (19:30)
• Tue 24 Feb: Chiefs vs Stellenbosch (19:30)
• Sat 28 Feb: Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates (FNB Stadium, 15:30)
