How much are tickets?

Chiefs are selling tickets for the TS Galaxy game at R60 through the club's ticket page (Kaizer Chiefs). Pirates have shared a ticket link in their matchday post but have not listed a price (Orlando Pirates). The PSL is also selling tickets for this week's four midweek Carling Knockout games (Official PSL).

Why does tonight matter for Chiefs?

Chiefs have not won in five games. They drew with Polokwane City, Golden Arrows and Stellenbosch in the league, then drew both legs against Zambia's Red Arrows and went out of the CAF Confederation Cup (TimesLIVE; ESPN). A loss to Galaxy would also put them out of a second domestic cup this season (TimesLIVE).

Galaxy arrive on a run of three straight league defeats, to Pirates, Chippa United and Kruger United, and sit 13th on the log (TimesLIVE).

What about Pirates?

Pirates are the defending Carling Knockout champions, so they need to win to keep their hold on the trophy (The National). They come in with one loss in their last eight games in all competitions, and they reached the CAF Champions League group stage with a 5-0 aggregate win over Namibia's African Stars. That makes them South Africa's only team left in the competition (TimesLIVE).

The two Soweto giants meet next in the league in the Soweto Derby, so both coaches have a busy week to manage (The National; TimesLIVE).
