Stellenbosch vs Kaizer Chiefs: Match Preview

Two months after their last Premier League encounter, tensions rise as Stellenbosch and Kaizer Chiefs lock horns once more. In their most recent clash, Chiefs secured a 0-2 victory, and Stellenbosch will be eager to turn the tables this time.

Stellenbosch arrive at this game following back-to-back draws against Chippa United and Durban City, extending their goalless run to three matches. Coach Steve Barker will be hoping his forwards rediscover their scoring touch to revive their campaign.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs head into the clash on the back of a draw with AmaZulu Durban last Wednesday, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches.
