Kaizer Chiefs attacker Keagan Dolly insists he is not at all intimidated by the prospect of taking on MTN8 Champions Orlando Pirates, having been on the winning side in last four league encounters.
Amakhosi are sett to host the Buccaneers at FNB Stadium on Saturday in what will be their first encounter of the season.
The two teams go into the match in slightly underwhelming form, with Chiefs having collected two wins from their last five league matches, while Pirates have just one from their last five.

Head-to-head, Chiefs have enjoyed the upper on their rivals, winning all five of the two teams last five league meetings, although Pirates triumphed in the last meeting which was the Nedbank Cup semi-final played in May.
Dolly, who has been on the winning side in the last four league meetings between the two giants believes that statistic is enough reason to be confident.
"Pirates? No. I'm not afraid of them. I've played four [Soweto derbies] and won four," Dolly said at the Soweto Derby pre-match press conference.
"I think is going to this weekend' derby is going to be a little different because of the situation that both teams find themselves in."
"I think this is more about the important three points for both teams and I think for us as a club, after Wednesday's win hopefully that can give us the confidence going into the game.
"We spoke in the dressing room saying that we had 20 games left before Wednesday's game now it's 19 and we want to win each and every game.

We also want to try and honour the chairman in trying to get the results that that that makes him happy and makes out supporters happy.
"I would support this happy so for us it's just to be consistent in that regard and try to win each and every game we play."
The match will kick off at 15:00.
