Orlando Pirates' Davids: When it comes to the Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs, form is out of the window

Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids insists their previous three derby wins over Kaizer Chiefs this season as well as their good form will not matter when they meet their rivals in Sunday’s Premier Soccer League Soweto derby showdown at FNB Stadium.

Having recorded eight victories and two draws across all competitions in their last 10 games, Pirates appear the stronger side on paper.

Their form is in stark contrast to Chiefs’ run in the last 10 games where they have managed just one win, five draws and four defeats.

With Pirates having also beaten Amakhosi in three derby meetings so far this season, Davids feels that will not influence Sunday’s game.
