Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has concurred with the notion that Mamelodi Sundowns’ supremacy in recent seasons may eventually deprive the Soweto derby of its original value and relevance.
Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will once again renew their rivalry when they meet in a DStv Premiership match at FNB Stadium tomorrow . As a coach, Baxter boasts an impressive record against Pirates, winning seven of the 15 games with just a single defeat and seven draws.
“Chiefs and Pirates have had their issues in recent years. You can look at it and say that Rangers and Celtic [the Old Firm rivalry in Scotland] is a top game, Barcelona and Madrid [the Spanish El Clasico] is a top game. All the derbies are top games but Tottenham and Arsenal [the London derby] has threatened to be a ruin [because, like Chiefs and Pirates, they’ve been struggling for trophies],” said Baxter.
