Mamelodi Sundowns face off against Kaizer Chiefs in a highly anticipated match. Despite a solid start to the season by Chiefs, Sundowns are tipped for a narrow 1-0 victory, marking them as favorites to win to nil. Sundowns have a strong head-to-head record with Chiefs, having won 8 out of their last 9 PSL matches without conceding goals. Chiefs will be without several key players and are challenged by injuries, which could impact their performance. Sundowns' recent form and defensive prowess give them the edge in this matchup.

Kaizer Chiefs vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


Chiefs have started the season well but they lack firepower. Sundowns are backed for a win to zero and I’m tipping a 1-0 correct score bet.

Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News


Chiefs have started this season with three straight league wins to zero. They ended ninth in the PSL last term but won the Nedbank Cup.

After beating Orlando Pirates 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final, they drew their final two league fixtures. They began this season with a 2-0 win over ten-man Stellenbosch.

A 1-0 win over Polokwane City saw a late goal scored. They repeated the trick in a 1-0 win over Richards Bay last time out as they allowed just two shots to their opponents.

Chiefs remain without three centre backs in Rushwin Dortley, Aden McCarthy and Given Msimango. Newly signed striker Etiosa Ighodaro picked up a knock in training and could miss out. 

Bradley Cross is a doubt at left back due to illness. Lebohang Maboe has joined the club but this match may come too soon for him. 

Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup


Petersen; Monyane, Kwinika, Miguel, Mako; Ndlovu, Mthethwa, Cele; Lilepo, Duba, Sirino.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns have won three and drawn three of their matches this season. They exited the MTN8 Cup on Saturday. 

Their opening PSL match saw a lead surrendered in a 1-1 draw vs Chippa United. They beat AmaZulu 2-0 with 80% possession before a 1-1 MTN8 semi-final first leg draw vs Orlando Pirates. 

After beating Magesi 2-0 in the league, they were knocked out of the MTN8. A 1-1 second leg draw vs Pirates was followed by a defeat on penalties.

Coach Miguel Cardoso is without the injured Themba Zwane whilst winger Lucas Ribeiro continues to boycott training. 

Right back Khuliso Mudau is back in training but he is not set to play any part in this one. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Morena, Kekana, Cupido, Lunga; Mokoena, Allende; Sales, Adams, Matthews; Rayners.
