Kick-off at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg is set for this evening, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Fernando Da Cruz’s side arrive under pressure to respond after Sunday’s cup disappointment, when 20 attempts on goal against Lamontville Golden Arrows yielded nothing and a single Khulekani Shezi strike ended Amakhosi’s MTN8 campaign at the quarter-final stage.

The Frenchman will be encouraged, however, by the early signs of his attacking system — a 3-1 Betway Premiership win over Kruger United on the opening weekend, with Wandile Duba netting twice, showed the firepower is there when things click.

Sekhukhune United arrive on the back of a remarkable weekend, having needed extra time and a stoppage-time Katlego Letlapa goal to edge AmaZulu 4-3 in a seven-goal MTN8 thriller at Chatsworth Stadium that booked their place in the semi-finals against Orlando Pirates. The energy of that cup run comes with a physical cost, however — Babina Noko players carry 120 minutes in their legs from Sunday heading into a midweek trip to Johannesburg, a factor that could prove decisive. Head coach Cedric Kaze also faces the club he left only weeks ago after serving as co-coach at Naturena last season.

History leans towards the hosts, with Kaizer Chiefs winning five of the ten competitive meetings between the sides against three Sekhukhune victories and two draws, including a comfortable 2-0 win in the reverse fixture at the Peter Mokaba Stadium back in May.

Stay with us for team news, build-up and live updates as Da Cruz and Kaze’s sides meet in one of the more intriguing early-season Betway Premiership fixtures.
