Kaizer Chiefs vs Mamelodi Sundowns Preview

Sundowns have been dominant of late, particularly in midweek where they swept Cape Town City aside. Chiefs are improving but may not have enough to win this one.

Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News

Chiefs won three of their first four matches this season. They are winless in the last two matches though.

A 2-1 victory over Marumo Gallants was followed by a 3-1 win at AmaZulu. A 2-1 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns was put to bed by a 4-0 thrashing of SuperSport United in the Carling KO Cup.

They faced the same opponents a week late and lost 1-0 away as they allowed just one shot on target. In midweek, Chiefs came from 2-0 down to rescue a 2-2 draw at Magesi FC.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi has Inacio Miguel available at centre back after suspension. Edson Castillo is an injury doubt in midfield.

Playmaker Gaston Sirino and winger Wandile Duba are set to return to the starting XI. Both players appeared as substitutes in midweek.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns have won eight of their last nine matches. They have scored 26 goals in that run.

After winning 2-1 at Kaizer Chiefs in the league, they destroyed Golden Arrows 5-0 at home in the Carling Knockout Cup. A 2-1 home win vs Royal AM preceded a shock 1-0 loss at Polokwane City.

They bounced back in midweek by thrashing Cape Town City 3-0 at home.

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi rested Teboho Mokoena in midweek to protect him from suspension. The Bafana Bafana star is set to start this match.

Peter Shalulile’s brace in their last match could see him lead the line. Iqraam Rayners may move to a role down the left wing in that case.

Verdict

Kaizer Chiefs v Mamelodi Sundowns

I can only see a Sundowns win, such is their recent dominance of Chiefs.
