Now, this historic encounter between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will be played for the 185th time since January 1970.

In the previous 184 matches across all competitions since then, Amakhosi still have have the edge over their arch-rivals.

However, it is important to note that the Buccaneers have had the better of Chiefs in recent years.

Of the 184 previous matches, Chiefs won 75 to Pirates’ 50 while the other 54 matches ended in draws.

Five of the 184 matches were abandoned for various reasons with the last being the 11 April 2001 match where there was a stampede at Ellis Park Stadium.

During this period, Chiefs have scored 234 while Pirates are sitting on 204 goals scored. Amakhosi legend Ace Ntsoelengoe contributed the most goals (19).
