Kaizer Chiefs will host Mamelodi Sundowns in their third Betway Premiership match of the season this weekend.
Amakhosi have made a strong start to their league campaign, winning both of their opening matches and currently sitting at the top of the log.
Chiefs secured a 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United in midweek, with Luke Baartman and Mduduzi Shabalala finding the back of the net in the second half to secure all three points.
It is the second successive season that Chiefs have won their opening two league matches, and they will now face a much tougher test against Sundowns.
All attention turns to Sunday as Amakhosi look to extend their unbeaten run against their rivals to four matches across all competitions.
Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns meet early
The two sides met twice last season, with both encounters ending in draws.
Sundowns, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after a difficult start to their league campaign. The defending champions, who missed out on a ninth consecutive league title last season, opened their Betway Premiership campaign with a scrappy 3-2 victory over TS Galaxy on Tuesday.
Masandawana will now be hoping to claim maximum points away from home against Chiefs, but they face an Amakhosi side that appears to have gained confidence from their impressive start.
Although Sundowns have traditionally dominated this fixture and have been favourites in many of their recent meetings, this weekend’s encounter could be a much closer contest.
Sundowns have shown some defensive vulnerability, while Chiefs have looked particularly strong in the league so far.
When do Kaizer Chiefs play Sundowns?
Kaizer Chiefs host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 15 August, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00. The match will be televised on SABC 1 as well as SuperSport 2.
