In a highly anticipated showdown, Kaizer Chiefs will host Sekhukhune United this week in a thrilling top-of-the-table clash.
The two sides, who are leading the way in the Betway Premiership, will face off at the iconic FNB Stadium to determine who holds the top spot.
Nasreddine Nabi’s troops, so far, have had a phenomenal start this season, showcasing their dominance with a flawless, unbeaten run in the league.
Their outstanding form is highlighted by the fact they’ve secured 13 points from just five matches, a testament to their strength and consistency.
The key to their success has been their impenetrable defense, which has maintained a perfect record, not conceding even a single goal thus far. This solid foundation has allowed them to focus on swift transitions from defense to attack, a strategy that has successfully yielded four victories and a single draw.

Meanwhile, Eric Tinkler’s side has also had brilliant start this season and is currently sitting at the top of the table with a well-earned 13 points.
Their strong form is backed by an impressive seven-goal difference, demonstrating a fantastic balance between their attacking prowess and defensive strength. The team has secured four wins and a single draw by playing an entertaining brand of possession-focused football.
RECENT FORM
Chiefs’ 1-0 victory over Golden Arrows highlighted the team’s knack for grinding out results in challenging games. Despite a less-than-prolific attack, their defense remains a pillar of strength and reliability.
They have shown particular dominance on their home turf, with a record of two wins and one draw.
On the other hand, Sekhukhune secured a commanding 2-0 victory against Durban City, who have also had an impressive form. Their perfect away record of two wins and two clean sheets is a testament to their strength on the road.
This ability to impose their style away from home makes them a very dangerous opponent, even for a powerhouse like Soweto giants.
