Stuart Baxter is looking forward to keeping good form when Kaizer Chiefs clashes with Orlando Pirates on Saturday, following the last minute victory against Baroka in his last match.
The Scot has confirmed the return of key players who weren’t available in their previous matches.

“We do have some fresh legs. For the next game we are expecting Bernard Parker to be back. Samir Nurkovic (suspended for the Pirates game) has had a good hour under his belt, Leonardo Castro has had time on the field and Lebogang Manyama has had more time on the field, so we have a full squad to look at now,” Baxter said on the club’s official website.
Baxter says a Pirates game is completely different from other games they ordinarily play in the league.
“We have Pirates up next. Traditionally one that you think the game before ‘will they take their eye off the ball? – on both accounts I think we kept discipline well. Pirates is a completely different game, how we set up tactically against them waits to be seen. We will suck on this caramel and then it’s back to work,” said Baxter.

The last time these two met, Chiefs got the better of Pirates. Besides, Stuart Baxter has a good record against Buccaneers.
In the previous 10 meetings with Pirates that Baxter was in charge of Chiefs, Amakhosi have only lost once, won four times and drew five times.
Both teams are combatting to at least finish at number two as the title favourites aren’t far away from being champions.
