DStv Diski Challenge: Kaizer Chiefs seek perfect four as Pirates search back-to-back wins

The Glamour Boys will be looking to maintain their winning run in the PSL Reserve League

Kaizer Chiefs will go in search of their fourth straight win in the DStv Diski Challenge when they take on SuperSport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday.

Chiefs remain the only team with an unblemished record as they have maximum points from their three games and will make a major statement of intent if they can add SuperSport to their list of casualties.

The Glamour Boys have been finding a way to win even when pegged back early and that tenacity and mental strength should serve them well against a SuperSport team that have managed three straight draws.

Will Pirates notch a second straight win?

Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates, who recorded their first win on matchday three, play the first match of the weekend as they host Sekhukhune United at the Isak Steyl Stadium in the early kick off on Saturday.

Pirates started the season with back-to-back draws before securing a 2-0 win over Marumo Gallants and will be keen to stay on the winning side against Banina Noko.

Sekhukhune, meanwhile, have had an inconsistent start, winning one and losing two, including last week’s 2-1 defeat to Kaizer Chiefs, and will want to make it right on Saturday.

Holders Stellenbosch FC have a daunting task against Mamelodi Sundowns with both sides looking to bounce back to winning ways.

Victory on the mind for Stellies & Sundowns

The clash, set to be played at the Idas Valley Sports ground, will see Stellenbosch, who suffered the biggest loss of last weekend, a 3-1 defeat to Cape Town City, host Sundowns, who were shock 2-1 losers to Magesi FC.

The PSL Reserve League’s highest scorers Cape Town City, who have managed 11 goals in three matches, will host Marumo Gallants at Malta Park Sports Ground on Sunday as TS Galaxy welcome Golden Arrows at Tsakane Stadium on Saturday.

Royal AM will also play on Saturday, hosting Richards Bay at the Harry Gwala Stadium, while Chippa United will play AmaZulu (Buffalo City Stadium) and Polokwane City welcome Magesi FC (Old Peter Mokaba Stadium), both matches on Sunday.
