Kaizer Chiefs vs Mamelodi Sundowns Betting Tips, Preview & Odds – Draw predicted in crunch clash

Kaizer Chiefs take on Mamelodi Sundowns in a potential Premier Soccer League championship decider on Thursday evening. Amakhosi sit three points clear of Sundowns with four matches left of the campaign.

Since the return of football in South Africa, Kaizer Chiefs have played four league games, managing just one victory. In their last match, Amakhosi drew 1-1 with Stellenbosch. Forward Lazarous Kambole scored his first goal for Chiefs in his 14th appearance to earn a share of the spoils.

Prior to that result, Chiefs drew 1-1 with Bidvest Wits, defeated Polokwane City 3-2, and went down 3-1 to Bloemfontein Celtic.

Kaizer Chiefs are going to be without their top scorer in Samir Nurkovic with the target man out suspended. Leonardo Castro is a major doubt in attack with a hamstring complaint. Between them, they have scored 20 league goals this season.

Lebogang Manyama and Erick Mathoho both missed the last game but should be fit to return here.

Mamelodi Sundowns have struggled since the restart, winning just one of their four games. That important win came against Golden Arrows on Monday. A last-minute goal sealed a 1-0 win. Themba Zwane scored the goal as a substitute.

Before that victory, Sundowns drew 2-2 with Maritzburg United, lost 3-2 to Cape Town City, and drew 0-0 with Orlando Pirates.

Mamelodi Sundowns welcome Andile Jali back in midfield after suspension, but Ricardo Nascimento will be missing at centre back due to a ban.

In goal, Denis Onyango is a doubt and Thapelo Morena is still expected to be missing at right back.

Kaizer Chiefs have a 16-2 advantage in 37 meetings, with 9 draws. When the sides clashed in October 2019, Amakhosi won 2-0 thanks to a double from Samir Nurkovic.

The odds for this match have yet to be released. We will update you as soon as they are.

Kaizer Chiefs rely heavily on set-piece goals, with 50% of their goals coming from those scenarios. Sundowns need the three points from this game, but Chiefs would be delighted with anything other than a loss.

The odds for this match have not been released yet but I'm leading towards a draw with a likely 1-1 scoreline.
