On March 01, 2025, at 13:30 GMT, Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs will go toe-to-toe at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Tshwane/Pretoria city, South Africa. There’s more into this classic clash between these two Premier Soccer League giants than just the 3 points.
Teams’ performance in the PSL
Mamelodi Sundowns are undoubtedly the dominating team in the PSL. They were crowned champions in the last 7 seasons and it seems they are not done yet. Currently on top of the league table with 42 points after 16 matches, their performance doesn’t drop, maintaining their ability to attack and defend effectively. And their stats say it all: 14 wins, 2 losses and no draw; 35 goals scored and 5 conceded.
On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs are struggling to replicate the yesteryear success; they hardly make it to the top 4 in the league. And so far in this season, they have registered 7 victories, 4 ties, and 6 defeats; finding the back of the net 20 times and suffered 19 goals. These efforts place them on the 6th position with 25 points.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs: What to expect?
Though the Shoe Shine and Piano are in good form, they know pretty well that they shouldn’t take this match lightly. This is a classic duel that has been around for decades and anything is possible. However, it shouldn’t be ignored that the last time Amakhosi won a match against Sundowns was in 2019.
Yet, Chiefs performance in the Nedbank Cup 3-0 win against Chippa United was a statement to the rest of the teams that they still got the touch. Not only that, they showed determination in the 1-0 Soweto derby loss early this month.
Due to the H2H stats and current form, the bookmakers are likely to consider the hosts as favorites when they present their offers. However, each team will play 2 games before this encounter and things may change in this period.
Update
The waiting is over; the PSL classic is around the corner! And Sundowns continue at the top of the league, but with 9 more points after 3 impressive wins. They continue to showcase their goal scoring skills scoring 11 goals in 3 matches.
Dropping from the 6th to the 8 spot, Chiefs registered one of their biggest upset this season, as they lost by 4 goals to 1 in front of their fans at FNB stadium. They displayed a lack of organization and concentration in defense and were punished for that. Their away match against Royal AM was postponed, which would serve as a preparation for this big match.
As anticipated, Mamelodi Sundowns are the clear favorites paid at @1.57, against @7.29 for Kaizer Chiefs. The quality gap between is undeniable; the hosts have a well-structured and experienced squad. And they have been consistent for years, both in domestic league and the CAF Champions League. The opposite can be said about Chiefs, with their head manager Nabi, with the club since July 2024, there’s still much to do to stop Amasandawana.
