Four missing for Kaizer Chiefs

Bongani Sam and Mduduzi Mdantsane are still out with injuries. New left-back Sam picked up a foot problem in Turkey while attacking midfielder Mdantsane was in a car accident and is still recovering. Right-back Dillan Solomons is a long-term absentee but isn’t miles away from a return. Utility defender, 30-year-old Mozambican Edmilson Dove, isn’t match fit and won’t be involved against Sundowns.

  • Downs are unbeaten in each of the last eight H2Hs across all competitions.
  • Sundowns have won four of the last five meetings and did the league double last term by an aggregate score of 7-2.

Sirino looks like a star

With two wins from two Betway Premiership matches, Nasreddine Nabi has made the perfect start to his tenure as Chiefs boss. A 2-1 win over Marumo Gallants on Matchday 1 was followed by an impressive 3-1 win away to AmaZulu. Gaston Sirino has impressed with two assists and a goal in those two outings and he’ll pull the strings against his old club on Saturday. He won 11 trophies in six years with Sundowns.
