Kaizer Chiefs vs Baroka FC prediction, preview, team news and more | South African Premier Soccer League 2021-22

The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Kaizer Chiefs take on Baroka FC this week. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and will want to win this game.

Baroka FC eased past Gallants by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result in this match. The away side finished in 10th place last year and will need to prove a point this season.

Kaizer Chiefs managed an eighth-place finish last season and cannot afford another poor league campaign. The Chiefs were held to a 0-0 stalemate by TS Galaxy in their previous game and need to be at their best in this fixture.
