Mamelodi Sundowns host Kaizer Chiefs this afternoon in this weekend’s headline Premier Soccer League fixture!
The two South African giants went toe-to-toe for much of the 2019/20 campaign however Pitso Mosimane’s Mamelodi Sundowns went on to clinch the title on the final day of the season in stunning fashion!
The 2020/21 campaign saw Kaizer Chiefs fall off the pace, by quite some distance, however with the new season underway and Stuart Baxter returning to the Glamour Boys, much is expected of them with regards to challenging the Brazilians.
The two teams met last month in the MTN8 with Mamelodi Sundowns walking away victorious thanks to a penalty shootout win but all of that will be forgotten when the two teams clash in the league this afternoon!

It’s too early to talk about the title – Baxter
Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter has commented on discussions surrounding today’s clash against Mamelodi Sundowns as a ‘title-decider’.
“I think this is very early, everybody is trying very hard to put down these markers for everybody else. These DStv Premiership title markers.” Stuart Baxter said.
“I think you’d take it in a heartbeat, any positivity that can help you going forward, and certainly a victory for one of the two teams in this game is a bit of a marker for everybody else and a positive sign that your development is going in the right direction.
“All that being said, either team that loses this game between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, I am guessing, will still be one of those that are there about when we come to the end of the season. It’s an important one for confidence, but it’s not a must-have, it’s a nice to have, I think,”
