Kick-off at the FNB Stadium in Nasrec is set for later today, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Fernando Da Cruz’s side arrive in the unfamiliar but welcome position of league leaders, having collected maximum points from their opening two Premiership fixtures — a 3-1 win over Kruger United and a 2-0 victory against Sekhukhune United — to sit proudly at the summit of the log ahead of matchday three.

Mamelodi Sundowns, the reigning CAF Champions League holders, are not yet at full throttle after a demanding pre-season in Austria and a dramatic MTN8 campaign, but Miguel Cardoso’s side showed their characteristic resilience against TS Galaxy last week, with substitute Sphelele Mkhulise scoring twice in the final two minutes to snatch a 3-2 victory and maintain the club’s record of never losing a season opener since 2007.

The backdrop to this fixture is a painful one for Amakhosi supporters. Kaizer Chiefs have not beaten Sundowns in the Betway Premiership since April 2021 — a drought of close to a dozen league meetings — with the last two encounters at this very ground ending goalless and the most recent Loftus encounter finishing 1-1 in May 2026.

Stay with us for team news, build-up and live updates as Da Cruz and Cardoso’s sides serve up what promises to be the standout fixture of the Betway Premiership weekend.
