Mamelodi Sundowns opened their league campaign with a thrilling 3-2 win away against TS Galaxy on Tuesday, while Kaizer Chiefs followed that result with a convincing 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United at FNB Stadium the following evening.
The result leaves both clubs with plenty of confidence heading into Saturday’s heavyweight encounter.
Kaizer Chiefs looking to end stalemate run
Last season produced little to separate the two giants, with both league meetings ending in draws.
The first encounter in Johannesburg finished 0-0, before the sides played to a 1-1 draw in Pretoria.
Kaizer Chiefs will therefore be determined to turn home advantage into three points, while Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to make an early statement in their bid to reclaim the league title.
With both teams having already shown their attacking quality, another closely fought contest is expected.

Fans will be entertained before the match by performances from South African artists including Scotts Maphuma, Sizwe Alakine and Tman Express.
