Stuart Baxter has never been overpowered by Orlando Pirates in the Soweto derby in a league match.
His first stint at Kaizer Chiefs saw him playing 6 league games against Pirates where he won twice and drew four times.
In this campaign’s first round, he got the bragging rights after securing a 2-1 victory, thanks to Keagan Dolly’s brace.

Baxter says the team that plays normal in the derby usually wins rather than a team that’s outstanding.
“I’m not going to profess that I have any secret formulas; I think that is a recipe for disaster,” Baxter said.
“Every time I go into a derby, then you try to perform your best on the day; the team that usually wins the derby is the team that plays normal, not the team that plays outstanding.
“The derbies are usually anxious, and they (the players) are usually worried, looking at the clock and usually over-hyped and get red cards and make decisions that lose the game.
“So, the team that plays normal are usually the team that wins the game.

“We will try and be inspired by the occasion and keep our feet on the ground and keeping our motivation at the right level.
“And then have a game plan and try to execute that, and if you do that, then you did everything you can.”
The match will be played on Saturday, 4 March with kick-off at 15:30.
