The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Mamelodi Sundowns take on Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Mamelodi Sundowns are at the top of the South African Premier Division and have dominated the league so far. The away side eased past Sekhukhune United by a 2-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Chiefs edged Marumo Gallants to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
