Kaizer Chiefs vs SuperSport United prediction, preview, team news and more | South African Premier Soccer League 2020-21

The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action this weekend as Kaizer Chiefs take on SuperSport United in an important match at the FNB Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this fixture.

SuperSport United have exceeded expectations so far this season and find themselves in second place in the league table. The away side edged Cape Town City to a 2-1 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, have endured a miserable campaign and have managed only two points from their last four games. The Chiefs slumped to a morale-sapping defeat against AmaZulu in their previous game and will look to bounce back in this match.
