Kaizer Chiefs will lock horns with Mamelodi Sundowns for the second time this season after a controversial (1-2) defeat to the Brazilians, and the Amakhosi will be desperate to prove a point here. Mamelodi Sundowns are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Kaizer Chiefs, but injury to crucial players makes this encounter an even contest.

After struggling in their first two games of the season, the Amakhosi have won back-to-back and head here in great shape. Kaizer Chiefs have won their last two games in the league, scoring five without conceding. Kaizer Chiefs qualified for this round after knocking out Cape Town City in the quarterfinals. Kaizer Chiefs picked up their first three points of the season, defeating Cape Town City (1-2) on the road. We hope their last two games will help them surge further in their quest to break the jinx against a strong Mamelodi Sundowns side.
Mamelodi Sundowns
Even with injuries to almost half of the squad, Mamelodi Sundowns have won all their games this season, taking their unbeaten record in all competitions to seventeen. The Brazilians head into this round after eliminating Moroka Swallows. Mamelodi Sundowns managed just a goal in that encounter, even though the visitors were reduced to ten men.
Mamelodi Sundowns were knocked out of the competition by Orlando Pirates in the semifinals last season and must be careful against a resurgent Kaizer Chiefs side.
Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous twenty meetings, Kaizer Chiefs have won five times while Mamelodi have recorded eleven victories and four games ending in a share of the spoils. Their most recent encounter ended in a (2-1) controversial victory for Mamelodi Sundowns. The Brazilians have been very shy in front of goals in their last three matches. Mamelodi Sundowns, who are known for having more of the ball and creating chances, lacked confidence in front of goals. Watching them in their last game against Polokwane gave me the impression that they might be punished by teams who can effectively counterattack. This encounter will witness more than two goals; however, both teams will get a goal apiece for 2.05.
Despite their last two victories, Kaizer Chiefs are still far from what they used to be, but we expect a strong performance from them here; bet on Kaizer Chiefs win either half 2.50.
We expect both sides to produce more than two goals for 2.30.
Good luck!
