Kaizer Chiefs host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Saturday

Kaizer Chiefs will host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 15 August. The Betway Premiership fixture is scheduled for a 15:00 kickoff and will be broadcast on SuperSport 2 and SABC 1.

Amakhosi enter the match in first place in the league standings with six points from two games. They secured their most recent victory with a 2-0 win against Sekhukhune United, where Luke Baartman and Mduduzi Shabalala both scored in the second half. This result marks the second consecutive season that Chiefs have won their opening two league fixtures.

Mamelodi Sundowns currently occupy fifth place in the table with three points following one match. The defending champions secured a 3-2 win over TS Galaxy on Tuesday to begin their campaign. They will look to build on that result by seeking maximum points during their trip to face the league leaders.

Chiefs have shown strong form in their recent outings, recording wins against Sekhukhune United and Amazulu. Their recent run includes a 1-1 draw with Al Kholood and losses to Elche and Chippa United. Sundowns have experienced mixed results in their recent matches, including a 3-1 win over RB Leipzig and draws against MC Alger, Hertha Berlin, and FAR Rabat, alongside a 0-2 loss to Al-Hilal Saudi.

Both teams are looking to make an impact in the early stages of the season. While Sundowns have historically been the dominant side in this fixture, Chiefs aim to extend an unbeaten run against their rivals that has reached three matches across all competitions. Last season, the two sides played twice and both matches ended in draws.
