KAIZER CHIEFS HOST MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Kaizer Chiefs welcome Mamelodi Sundowns to FNB Stadium on Saturday at 15:00.
Amakhosi have made a strong start to their Betway Premiership campaign with back-to-back victories. They will now face their biggest early test against the reigning African champions.
Despite their MTN8 exit, Kaizer Chiefs will be determined to continue their league momentum. They will also look to end their difficult recent record against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mamelodi Sundowns enter the clash after opening their league campaign with a 3-2 victory over TS Galaxy. The Brazilians missed out on the league title by just two points last season and will want to make an early statement.
