The South African Premier Soccer League returns to the fold this weekend as Golden Arrows host a struggling Kaizer Chiefs outfit at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday. The two South African giants have shown shades of their best selves this season and have a point to prove in this fixture.

Kaizer Chiefs have endured a dismal league campaign so far and have managed only four points from their three games so far. The Chiefs were also thrashed by Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 and are in desperate need of a victory at the moment.

Golden Arrows are currently unbeaten in the South African top flight and have been in good form over the past few weeks. The Backheel Boys were held to a 1-1 draw by Baroka earlier this month and will want to bounce back with a victory in this game.


Golden Arrows vs Kaizer Chiefs Head-to-Head

Kaizer Chiefs have an exceptional record against Golden Arrows and have won 16 games out of a total of 25 matches in this fixture. Golden Arrows have managed only three victories against the Chiefs and will look to improve their record this weekend.

The previous meeting between these two teams resulted in 2-0 victory for Kaizer Chiefs. Daniel Cardoso scored for the Chiefs on the day and is likely to feature for the away side on Saturday.
