Kaizer Chiefs vs Sundowns Prediction: Time to settle the score

Kaizer Chiefs have a score to settle against Mamelodi Sundowns. The last time they met, things didn't go their way, with the Referee taking all the headlines. This time they meet in the Carling Knock Out Cup and needless to say, Nabi's men won't be settling for a loss.

Here are a few markets to consider adding to your bet slip...

3 Way - Mamelodi Sundowns 31/20

There might be a score to settle however, recent form doesn't paint Kaizer Chiefs in a good light. They have 1 win in their last 3 and  they have already lost to Mamelodi Sundown's cross town rivals Supersport United. Last time out, they barely made it past Magesi, who is a recently promoted side. It took a Shabalala brace in the 77th minute to bring Kaizer Chiefs level after trailing to Magesi for a majority of the match.

Although they managed to walk away with a point, they lost Mfundo Vilakazi to injury in the 66th minute. When they met in September, Kaizer Chiefs opened the scoring very early with a goal from Chivaviro.  Sundowns was quick to turn the match around with two goals in the first half, from Ribeiro and Rayners.

Like I mentioned above, form does not paint Kaizer Chiefs in a good light. Downs have won 3 in a row against Kaizer Chiefs, they have no losses against Chiefs in their last 10 meeting and Kaizer Chiefs have not kept a clean sheet against Sundowns in 13 matches. The last time Kaizer Chiefs managed to Keep a clean sheet against Mamelodi Sundowns, we were living pre covid lock down times.

At Soccer City, Sundowns have enjoyed playing against the Glamour Boys. Their last two matches produced seven goals for Sundowns. In addition, Sundowns have not lost to Kaizer Chiefs as the away side since April of 2017. Technically speaking, the home advantage won't help Kaizer Chiefs and we can expect Mamelodi Sundowns to continue their reign of Terror at Soccer City against Kaizer Chiefs this weekend.
