Cape Town City vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction: Both sides have an equal chance of securing the maximum points

On Sunday, Cape Town City will be keen to bounce back from their recent misfortunes when they square off against Kaizer Chiefs at the DHL Stadium. The Citizens head here hoping to recover from their recent home loss as they begin a new campaign under coach Muhsin Ertugral. The Turkish will replace Eric Tinkler, who has been with the club since 2021. This is not a game where they are allowed to experiment, as the guests can take advantage of every opportunity they get here. 

Cape Town City (12th)

Last five games: WLLWL

For a top team like Cape Town City languishing in the relegation zone, something must be done before it gets out of hand. The Citizens have been below par this season, winning just three of their last ten league matches. After this poor run, it’s better to start all over again as coach Eric Tinkler tenders his resignation, giving room for Turkish tactician Muhsin Ertugral. Recently, the Citizens suffered a shocking loss on their home turf as they were beaten by Amazulu. Cape Town City did everything right except putting the ball in the net as their struggle continued. 

Cape Town City dropped twelfth on the log following their recent performances. They have picked up eleven points from a combined thirty, scoring six and conceding twelve. 

Cape Town City have drawn once, won twice, and lost a game on their home ground this season. 

Kaizer Chiefs (7th)

Last five games: WDLDW

The Amakhosi returned to winning ways after three games without a breakthrough. After several threats against Chippa United and some great saves from the guests, Mduduzi Shabalala broke the deadlock just before the break. Nothing really serious happened after the break as they narrowly defeated Chippa United (1-0) at home. This was after their share of the spoils on the road against TS Galaxy. 

Nasreddine Nabi's men have picked up fifteen points from a combined thirty, scoring fourteen and conceding thirteen.

Kaizer Chiefs have lost twice, won two games, and drawn twice over their last six games on the road.

Expert Betting Tips

Cape Town City have been below par lately, with two wins in their previous six games. Coming off a defeat against Amazulu on their ground, inconsistency has been their Achilles’ heel. Their home form will be crucial as their fans are expected to troop in numbers to support their darling club. On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs have not been clinical either, and all their wins have been scrappy. 

Cape Town City have won five consecutive games against Kaizer Chiefs in the league, but considering the fact that this game will be played at DHL Stadium, makes it an open encounter. Kaizer Chiefs will likely take advantage of having more fans than the hosts in the stadium, and we think both teams stand an equal chance of winning this game. 

Kaizer Chiefs have not been at their best against the top six sides in the division, but I think they’ll be ready to take advantage of the hosts' present predicament; bet on away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.20.

I also think both teams will get a goal here since the guests have not kept a clean sheet in ten away matches in the league.

I expect a halftime stalemate from both teams for 1.91.

Good luck!
