Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th August 2023

Mamelodi Sundowns will host Kaizer Chiefs at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in the Premier Soccer League on Wednesday.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs Preview

The title holders remain unquenchable. Mamelodi Sundowns opened their campaign with a 2-1 win over Sekhukhune United at Peter Mokaba Stadium to extend their winning streak to four games. The Pretoria-based giants are set to play their first home match of the season against four-time champions Kaizer Chiefs.

Masandawana are eying a seventh consecutive success in the top flight and need to guard against any form of a blip at this stage. The clash is expected to be one of the main attractions of the second matchday. Sundowns have an upper hand in their head-to-head record, winning their previous two clashes, including a 4-0 triumph at home.

The visitors finished fourth last season with 44 points – 26 behind champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Kaizer Chiefs won their last Premier Soccer League title almost 10 years ago in 2014-15 but were runners-up in 2019-20. Eight new players have been enrolled while former youth team coach Molefi Ntseki is now in command.

AmaKhosi seem ready for the ride, however, their record is not improving. They have lost six of their last seven games in all competitions. Kaizer Chiefs have been woeful on the road as well, losing four of their previous five encounters. They are clearly not favored to prevail in Mamelodi but could prove pundits wrong and send out a strong message.
