Kaizer Chiefs surged into third place in the Betway Premiership standings following a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Durban City at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Marumo Gallants, Richards Bay FC and Siwelele FC will all be aiming to secure their first wins of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season when they face KwaZulu-Natal opposition this weekend.


Gallants look to end losing streak against AmaZulu

AmaZulu will be hosting Marumo Gallants at the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu on Saturday as they look to remain in the top four position on the league table.

Gallants have made changes in personnel after a disappointing start to the season, with coach Phuti Mohafe being relieved of his duties after the 2-2 draw against his former club Polokwane City.

In addition, the Limpopo based team have also roped in former player Daniel Msendami and midfielder Abdoulaye Mariko on loan from Orlando Pirates, with Bheki Mabuza moving the other way.

Meanwhile Usuthu will be hoping in-form striker Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya continues his scoring streak after netting his eigth goal of the season in the 2-1 win over Richards Bay last week.

Milford look to continue good top-flight start

Betway Premiership new boys Milford FC currently find themselves occupying fifth spot on the league table after a commendable start to the 2026/27 season ahead of their KZN derby against Richards Bay at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Natal Rich Boys are experiencing a winless start to the season, with three draws and two losses in their opening five matches of the season and are 13th on the table.

Arrows target first win over Siwelele

Siwelele are set to host Golden Arrows at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Sunday as they target their first win of the new campaign after coach Lehlohonolo Seema was relieved of his duties.

The Bloemfontein based outfit have lost four of their last five matches to find themselves struggling on 15th spot on the table and will hope interim coach Godfrey Moseatsa leads them to a positive result against Pitso Dladla’s young side.

The two sides have faced each other twice, with the first match ending 3-1 in favour of Siwelele while the last clash was a goalless draw.
