Petersen might finally be proving his worth to Kaizer Chiefs, but he will know that to whom much is given, much is expected.A high-stakes Soweto derby takes centre stage this week as Chiefs and Orlando Pirates face off at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3.30pm kickoff) for three invaluable points in the Betway Premiership title race - and the country’s bragging rights.

Chiefs will look to captain Brandon Petersen for leadership and composure as the 31-year-old has arguably been their best player since the start of the season.

Petersen has kept 11 clean sheets in 17 league games so far, but his influence extends beyond that. He guides his teammates through the demands of both the matches, and the occasions. And the derby should not be different.
