Momentum is on Kaizer Chiefs’ side as they prepare for their third Betway Premiership clash of the season.
After back-to-back victories, the Soweto giants will be aiming to keep their perfect start alive when they take on Richards Bay at FNB Stadium on Tuesday evening. Kick-off is set for 19:30.
Strong Start to the New Campaign
Amakhosi opened their season in style with a 2-0 away win over Stellenbosch FC in Cape Town.
They followed that up with another solid performance, edging Polokwane City 1-0 at home last Wednesday.
Now, with six points from their first two games, they’ll be eager to stretch that run to three consecutive wins.
Richards Bay Struggle to Find Their Feet
Their opponents, Richards Bay, are heading into this clash under pressure.
The KwaZulu-Natal side has yet to pick up a point this season, suffering defeats against Marumo Gallants and Golden Arrows.
To make matters worse, they crashed out of the MTN8 quarter-final after a heavy 4-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
No Suspensions, No New Injuries
One bit of good news for Chiefs is that the squad is going into this fixture at full strength.
Assistant coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze confirmed there are no suspensions or fresh injuries to worry about, giving them plenty of options for the starting lineup.
Fans Ready to Pack the Stadium
Tickets for the Glamour Boys’ second home game of the season are already on sale.
Supporters can grab theirs online at ticketmaster.co.za, through the Kaizer Chiefs website, or at Shoprite, Usave, and Checkers stores.
Prices are set at R60, and with the team riding high, a strong turnout is expected at FNB Stadium.
Match Outlook and Predictions
Given their current form, Chiefs head into the game as clear favourites.
Richards Bay, still searching for rhythm, will need something special to stop them.
Many fans and analysts are tipping another clean sheet for the Amakhosi, with a 2-0 win looking like the most likely outcome.
