In the eagerly awaited match between Polokwane City and Kaizer Chiefs, the Chiefs are favored to secure their sixth straight victory. Polokwane has faced challenges at home, losing their last two matches and sitting seventh in the standings after a previous unbeaten run. Meanwhile, Chiefs have been in excellent form, boasting five consecutive wins and consistently finding the back of the net.

Head to Head – Amakhosi Dominate This Fixture

Chiefs won 1-0 at home when the clubs last met in August 2025.
Successive Home Defeats - Polokwane Sit Seventh
Polokwane City were on a 10-match unbeaten home run before consecutive defeats. That run saw seven draws and three wins.
A 2-0 win at Magesi ended a four-game winless streak. They allowed 29 shots in a 2-1 home loss to Orlando Pirates before a 0-0 draw at Sekhukhune United.
Polokwane lost 1-0 at home to AmaZulu before winning 2-1 at TS Galaxy. Their last match saw them deservedly score a late equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw at Chippa United.
Five Straight Wins – Chiefs Scoring Freely
Chiefs have won five straight league matches for the first time since the 2019-20 season. They look odds on to finish third and secure a CAF Confederations Cup place.
After four straight losses, they beat Durban City 1-0 at home. A 2-0 home win over Magesi was followed by a 3-1 win at Orbit College.
They allowed just one shot on target in a 2-0 home win over TS Galaxy. Their last match saw a 4-1 win at Magesi as they had just 12 shots.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Polokwane City (4-2-3-1): Mathebula; Matuludi, Nikani, Ramaja, Nkwe; Kambala, Maphangule; Dlamini, Mutudza, Ramabu; Tshikweta.
Polokwane could name an unchanged XI for the third match in a row. Zimbabwean midfielder Jean Mutudza is set to start in midfield once again.
Edwin Ramaja has performed well at centre back. He could keep his place in the lineup.
Kaizer Chiefs (4-2-3-1): Petersen; Monyane, Msimango, McCarthy, Cross; Maboe, Ndlovu; Lilepo, Shabalala, Duba; Da Silva.
Chiefs remain without defender Rushwin Dortley. Reeve Frosler may get a start at right back after contributing two assists from the bench against Magesi.
Striker Etiosa Ighodaro is out injured. Inacio Miguel is set to be preferred to Given Msimango.
Verdict
I'm backing a Chiefs win to zero.
