The South African Premier Soccer League returns to the fold with another set of games as Kaizer Chiefs take on AmaZulu on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
AmaZulu are in eighth place in the South African Premier Division and are yet to hit their stride this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Stellenbosch last week and will want to return to winning ways this week.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this year. The Chiefs edged Maritzburg United to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want a similar result from this match.
Kaizer Chiefs vs AmaZulu Head-to-Head
Kaizer Chiefs have an excellent record against AmaZulu and have managed to win 15 games out of a total of 22 matches played between the two sides. AmaZulu have troubled Kaizer Chiefs in the recent past and can pull off a victory this week.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in February and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams failed to make the most of their chances on the day and will need to be more clinical on Wednesday.
