The South African Premier Soccer League is back with a massive fixture this weekend as Kaizer Chiefs lock horns with Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Mamelodi Sundowns have been exceptional over the past year and will be intent on keeping their crown this season. The Sundowns were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Chippa United in their previous league game and will need to bounce back in this match.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, have not been at their best in recent months and have a point to prove this season. The Chiefs edged Baroka to a 2-1 victory last month and will want a similar result from this fixture.
