Golden Arrows vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction: A high goal scoring contest expected

Mpumalanga Stadium will play host to the South Africa Premier match between Golden Arrows and Kaizer Chiefs on October 28, 2023. Check out our preview of this game, which includes our top predictions for the outcome. 

Golden Arrows are looking to add another victory to their resume following their most recent triumph, a 1-0 victory over Sekhukhune United in the Premier Division. During that game, the Golden Arrows had 32% possession of the ball and 6 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots being on target. On the other side of the field, Sekhukhune United had twenty shots on goal, but only three of them were on target. The Golden Arrows, captained by Steve Komphela, have found the back of the net nine times over the course of their previous six matches, while a total of seven goals were scored against them.

After suffering a loss in their most recent Premier Division contest, which was played against Cape Town City, Kaizer Chiefs will be coming into this one with the intention of turning things around. During that match, Kaizer Chiefs controlled 65 percent of the possession and had 15 shots on goal, with four of them finding the target. Seven shots were taken on goal by Cape Town City, and four of those shots were on target. In recent times, it has become rather common for at least one team to go scoreless in matches involving Kaizer Chiefs. When looking at the results of their most recent 6 meetings, it can be seen that this has occurred 5 times. In those matches, their competitors have scored a combined total of three goals, while Kaizer Chiefs have scored seven goals.

Both sides have a good chance of winning this match, but the performances of the visiting Chiefs haven't been something to write home about as of late. On the other hand, I anticipate a different performance from Kaizer Chiefs in this match, and the away team should be able to score in this match. Due to the fact that the home team has been performing better recently in both offense and defense, the game should end in a victory for the home team, despite the fact that both teams are expected to score.
