Cape Town City v Kaizer Chiefs: Kick-off time, betting odds, players to watch & more!

Kaizer Chiefs will look to build on their recent 1-0 victory over Chippa United when they take on Cape Town City at DHL Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.

The highly anticipated Betway Premiership fixture sees them come up against ex-Chiefs manager Muhsin Ertugral.

Form Guide  

Both teams are eager for valuable points to climb the PSL table. Cape Town City’s recent form has been mixed (W4 D2 L4 in their last ten), but they’ve been stronger at home (W5 D3 L2), giving them a potential edge. Kaizer Chiefs, however, have struggled for consistency (W3 D3 L4) in their last ten across all competitions), and their away form mirrors this, raising doubts about their performance in Cape Town.

Historically, Chiefs hold a slight advantage in this fixture (11 wins to City’s 8 in 23 meetings, with 4 draws). Analysts predict another close, potentially high-scoring contest. At the time of writing, Chiefs are seventh in the standings, while City were down in 12th.

Player Spotlight

Mduduzi Shabalala has been somewhat of a revelation this season. Under the tutelage of Nabi, the twenty year old has shown a great deal of improvement which is evident in his contributions in the advanced areas of the pitch. Shabalala proved the difference when Amakhosi defeated Chippa United thanks to a wonderful run on the wing, leaving defenders in his wake as he slotted home.

The dangerman has attempted 8 shots across his previous 3 league appearances so keep an eye out on him here!

How to watch

The match is scheduled to kick-off at 17:45 on Sunday, 05 January and will be carried live on the public broadcaster’s radio stations for commentary. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport channel 202 and can also be streamed on Showmax.

Cape Town Stadium

The 55 000 seater stadium will host the clash between Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs. The Greenpoint based stadium was initially constructed to host matches during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and has since become the dedicated home ground for the esteemed Western Province Rugby Union.

The stadium’s association with DHL is reflected in its official name and apart from hosting football and rugby matches, it has held music concerts and the sixth edition of Roger Federer’s Matches for Africa.
