The South African Premier Soccer League returns to the fold with another set of games this weekend as Kaizer Chiefs take on Bloemfontein Celtic at the Seisa Ramabodu Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to win this game.
Kaizer Chiefs have not been at their best this season and are in ninth place in the league table at the moment. The Chiefs suffered a shock defeat against Chippa United in their previous game and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
Bloemfontein Celtic, on the other hand, currently find themselves in 11th place in the South African Premier Division and have also endured an underwhelming campaign. The home side has managed only one victory in its last five games and needs to step up in this encounter.
