Kaizer Chiefs Face Mamelodi Sundowns in Premier League Title Test

Kaizer Chiefs have made a strong start to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season with three consecutive wins, positioning them as co-leaders alongside Sekhukhune United. Their next major challenge is a midweek clash against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium, a match seen as a critical test of Chiefs' title credentials. The Chiefs will welcome back head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who missed the initial matches due to family matters, with assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef having managed the team effectively in his absence. Mamelodi Sundowns, eager to reassert their dominance and rebound from a recent MTN8 semifinal penalty shootout loss, remain favorites for a ninth consecutive league title. Former Chiefs defender Isaac Mabotsa praised the team's blend of young talent and experience, suggesting the squad is well-equipped to mount a serious title challenge. Meanwhile, other league fixtures include Sekhukhune United aiming for a fourth straight win and Stellenbosch FC under pressure to improve their league form after a strong MTN8 performance.
