Orlando Pirates are set to host Kaizer Chiefs at the Orlando Stadium for the second Soweto Derby this season, in fresh Premier Soccer League action.

The Buccaneers won the first leg of the tie 1-0 at the FNB Stadium and would hope to get another win in front of their home fans.

The Amakhosi will face Golden Arrows in their next DStv Premiership game, but Cavin Johnson would have this weekend's derby at the back of his mind.

Sports Brief takes a look at the four Kaizer Chiefs players who could miss the Soweto Derby.

Chiefs players who could miss Pirates' clash

1. Edmilson Dove

The defender will not be available for the game against Pirates after picking up a straight red card in Chiefs goalless draw against Moroka Swallows last weekend.

2. Yusuf Maart

Maart holds a significant role in Johnson's team and could be unavailable for the clash if he gets a yellow card against Arrows on Tuesday.

3. Pule Mmodi

Mmodi is facing the same situation as Maart. He is on three yellow cards, and a booking against Arrows could rule him out of the derby this weekend.

4. Edson Castillo

Castillo is the last man on the list and must exercise extra caution if selected to play against the Backheel Boys. He is also a booking away from missing the clash against their city rivals.

Msimango admits Chiefs fans' frustrations

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kaizer Chiefs defender, Given Msimango, opened up about the distress he feels seeing the team's supporters upset due to their disappointing season so far.

Growing up in Brakpan, he was a devoted supporter of the club and said joining them was a dream come true. Despite the dream of playing for his beloved club, the season hasn't gone as hoped.
