Chiefs vs Sundowns: the main event
At 12:00, the spotlight firmly shifts to the clash of giants between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns — a fixture that rarely disappoints, even at reserve level.
Defending Diski Challenge champions Chiefs enter the contest determined to reassert their title credentials. Sitting fifth on the table with 23 points from 13 matches, Amakhosi know a strong finish to the season is crucial. Much of their attacking threat is expected to come from Imaad Hendricks and Neo Bohloko, who have been central to Chiefs’ forward play.
Sundowns, meanwhile, are firmly in the title race. The 2017 Diski Challenge winners are second on the log, four points behind leaders Orlando Pirates, and see this encounter as a must-win in keeping their championship hopes alive. Leading scorer Bennet Mokoena will once again be key to Masandawana’s ambitions.
