Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs Preview

The 2023 MTN8 Cup is nearing its conclusion with four teams left in the competition. Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, Stellenbosch, and Orlando Pirates are seeking a ticket to the final, with the second leg of the semi-finals set for the weekend. The hosts and Kaizer Chiefs’ first-leg battle of nerve ended in a 1-1 draw at FNB Stadium.

Masandawana, the four-time winners, snatched the crucial away draw late in the clash through Khuliso Mudau following Castillo’s 61st-minute opener. Sundowns will hope to exploit their home advantage to qualify for their 11th MTN8 final thanks to their monstrous form. They are unbeaten in their last 22 games.

Kaizer Chiefs will enter the meeting on the back of a three-game winless run – two draws and one defeat. Their previous win dates back to August 30, a 2-0 victory against Stellenbosch in a league contest. The visitors will face an uphill battle attempting to upset Sundowns in Pretoria, where the hosts remain unbeaten this year.

AmaKhosi ended their journey at this stage last year, with AmaZulu having the last say and proceeding to the final. Are they going to allow another semi-final elimination in a row? Chiefs’ last three visits to Sundowns ended in defeats, with their previous success in Pretoria dating back to April 2021.
