Kaizer Chiefs vs Cape Town City

Kaizer Chiefs would be keen to breathe life into their top-two PSL ambitions when they host Cape Town City at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Kaizer Chiefs have lost their last three games and have shared spoils in the other to post a four-match winless run.

The Club will also provide regular updates of the action on Twitter @KaizerChiefs. There’s a two-point gap between the two teams with City on 41 points and Chiefs on 39 after 25 games. The defence will see Cardoso and Siyabonga Ngezana play at centre-back with Reeve Frosler on the left and Njabulo Blom on the right.

Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane believes Amakhosi need to find their identity to regain the dominance and glory days of yesteryear.

“If you go in there with one intention, to go and dominate and win games, it will take a while to get to the level where everyone would expect it to be, but eventually it will be there. “You are bound to crack when you don’t know what you are doing simply because you are playing and hoping that you will be able to get a goal, you will be able to dominate the opposition,” he said. “The identity is very key.

It was a fourth consecutive league defeat for the Glamour Boys which also leaves the Soweto side without a win in their last five games.

Zuma then had the chance to win it after a lovely one-two with Billiat in the 89th minute, but his shot from the edge of the area was too close to the keeper and was saved by Marques. Dolly also had a shot after the interval, but again was unable to test City keeper Hugo Marques from distance. Although Chiefs had managed to string some good moves together in the opening minutes, they didn't create much, with the exception of a shot from Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, which was blocked.

Cape Town City kept their fight for second place alive when they consigned Kaizer Chiefs to a fourth consecutive league defeat on Saturday afternoon.

Chiefs were off to a rousing start when second-half play commenced and there were half-chances for Keagan Dolly and Billiat but none were converted. City allowed them to build-up launch build-up movements from deep options but when they approached the City goalmouth they made little headway. Ngcobo's blunder gifted Arrows an opening goal in the midweek fixture and Chiefs were unable to recover. Their pace up front proved threatening on the odd occasion when they transferred play to the Chiefs goalmouth. City who were forced to play without their DR Congo international defender Nathan Idumba as a result of a midweek yellow card against Mamelodi Sundowns, started off with a high-pressure game. Should the PSL appeal be successful, Chiefs will forfeit both matches and will be declared 3-0 losers.
