Kaizer Chiefs target third straight win as Mamelodi Sundowns visit FNB Stadium

Kaizer Chiefs will look to make it three consecutive victories in the Betway Premiership when they host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

The fixture gives Chiefs the opportunity to extend their perfect winning start, but their recent league record against Sundowns offers a warning. Chiefs have not beaten the reigning South African opponents in the league since 2021.

Sundowns therefore arrive as the team Chiefs must overcome if they are to maintain their momentum. The match is scheduled for 15:00 and is one of five Betway Premiership fixtures taking place on Saturday.

The meeting at FNB Stadium is the headline game of the day, with Chiefs aiming to add another victory to their current run and Sundowns standing between them and a third successive league win.

Saturday’s fixtures

The day begins with two matches at 15:00. Alongside the meeting between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, AmaZulu will face Siwelele FC.

Sekhukhune United and Polokwane City will then meet at 17:30.

The evening programme features two 20:00 kick-offs. Durban City will play Richards Bay, while Magesi FC will take on Kruger United.

The full Saturday schedule is:

– 15:00 – Kaizer Chiefs v Mamelodi Sundowns – 15:00 – AmaZulu v Siwelele FC – 17:30 – Sekhukhune United v Polokwane City – 20:00 – Durban City v Richards Bay – 20:00 – Magesi FC v Kruger United

Updates will also follow from the Betway Premiership action on Saturday and Sunday.

For Chiefs, the immediate focus is on turning their strong start into a longer winning sequence. Their latest target is a third straight league victory, although the historical difficulty of beating Sundowns means the occasion represents a significant test.

Sundowns’ presence also gives the match added importance, with Chiefs seeking to end a league wait against their opponents that stretches back to 2021. The visitors will attempt to prevent that run from ending while Chiefs pursue another three points at home.

The match between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns is set to start at 15:00 at FNB Stadium.
