Kaizer Chiefs vs Golden Arrows
The prospects of setting the league alight by stretching the lead at the top of the log have never been this tantalizing with the impending “David versus Goliath” fixture under the Johannesburg night skyline.
Kaizer Chiefs may open a 6-point lead gap at the top of the Absa Premiership table in a league clash against Lamontville Golden Arrows at FNB Stadium tonight – 19:30.
The one match loss by Amakhosi seem negligible as they continue to deliver when it matters most on points collection. Will this momentum hold? Only (the 90 minutes scheduled) time will tell.
Steve Komphela coached Golden Arrows travel to Gauteng at the back of the week’s ambivalent 2-2 draw with Stellenbosch FC at home. Abafana Bes’thende need to dig deep to grind out positive outcomes on the road. Chiefs are on form and they will be obstinate to contain.
For history’s sake, there will be a thinly veiled “reunion” between Amakhosi and Komphela, albeit at opposite ends. A spectacle on its own right.
AmaZulu FC vs Cape Town City FC
Amazulu will lay the red carpet for CT City at King Zwelithini Stadium tonight – 19:30.
Guarding the base of the log, Amazulu are winless in seven games. They managed only two draws so far. To change their fortunes, Usuthu (Amazulu) have brought in Jozef Vukusic after dismissing Cavin Johnson two weeks ago.
On the other hand, The Citizens (CT City) have one win so far. However, Benni McCarthy team is not goal shy. Amazulu will have their hands full trying to ward off City’s fiery attack.
Chippa United vs Bidvest Wits
Second from bottom without a victory are Chippa United facing a formidable Bidvest Wits team at Sisa Dukashe Stadium tonight – 19:30.
The Chilli Boys have fired two coaches with seven games played in the Absa Premiership 2019/2020 season. The so ununited Chippa United resemble a club at war with itself.
Contrary, the Clever Boys (Wits) win will launch them second on the log and probably narrow the gap against Chiefs at the top. Having pocketed 12 points after five games, they have two games in hand and that works in their favour.
