HOW ORLANDO PIRATES AND CHIPPA UNITED STARTED THIS SEASON
Orlando Pirates opened their title defence with a comfortable 2-0 win over Milford FC. They were then held to a 1-1 draw by AmaZulu in midweek.
The Buccaneers have collected four points from their opening two matches. They will now be eager to claim maximum points and keep pace with early Betway Premiership leaders Kaizer Chiefs.
History is firmly on the side of Orlando Pirates in this fixture.
The Soweto giants have won 19 of their 26 Betway Premiership meetings against Chippa United. They head into Sunday’s encounter on a five-match winning run against the Chilli Boys.
Chippa United will hope their temporary home advantage at Kings Park Stadium can help them upset the defending champions and end Pirates’ impressive record in this fixture.
