Kaizer Chiefs vs Sundowns: What time is kickoff?

by

We’ve got a Betway Premiership cracker in store when Kaizer Chiefs host champions Sundowns at FNB Stadium. Here’s the key info.

Sundowns is a great early test for the new Kaizer Chiefs boss Nabi

The. The Tunisian boss will lean heavily on the vast experience and know-how of 33-year-old playmaker Gaston Sirino. The Uruguayan won 11 trophies in a six-year stint with Sundowns. He’ll need no extra motivation to perform this weekend.

Upcoming Betway Prem tests for Chiefs

  • Mamelodi Sundowns – Saturday, September 28, FNB Stadium, 15:00
  • SuperSport United – Saturday, October 26, Lucas Moripe Stadium, 17:30
  • Magesi FC – Wednesday, October 30, Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, 19:30
  • Royal AM – Sunday, November 9 – FNB Stadium, 17:30

Could Mthethwa feature against the Brazilians?

So far, Nabi has opted for midfield pivots of Yusuf Maart and Samkelo Zwane against Gallants, and Maart alongside Njabulo Blom against AmaZulu. That’s left former Stellies man Sibongiseni ‘The Ox’ Mthethwa struggling for game time. Curiously, Mthethwa completed 55 tackles in 18 Betway Premiership matches last season, making him one of the most efficient defensive midfielders in the division. Against Gallants, Nabi opted for a double pivot of Samkelo Zwane and Yusuf Maart. Against AmaZulu, he dropped Zwane and brought Blom in to partner Maart. Here’s what Nabi had to say about Mthethwa via iDiskiTimes:

“We have 32 players and I have respect for all of them,” he said after his side’s 3-1 win at AmaZulu.

“Why do you only ask me about Mthethwa, I have other players as well. We are a group and we are all [united] as a group.

“Mthethwa has good qualities, maybe after today he is starting for the Sundowns game.

“But I don’t want to talk too much about single players, I want to talk about all players.”
