Kaizer Chiefs will be hosting the Absa Premiership defending champions and close rival, Mamelodi Sundowns today at 6 pm at the Orlando Stadium.
This is believed to be one of the biggest games in the 2019-2020 season considering the class of players and the experience of the coaches too, as we expect both coaches to outsmart one another in the PSL title race. The Soweto giant will be playing a revived Chloorkop side, who are coming off their first win since the season resumption when they edged out Khompela’s Goldern Arrows 1-0 on Monday.
Amakhosi will be playing without their hallmark goal scorer Samir Nurković as they have an opportunity to return to winning ways after drawing with Stellenbosch FC last weekend and also put a serious impact on Pitso’s hopes of winning this season’s league title. A win for Masandawana will definitely restore undeniable hope on retaining the league title.
We spoke to diski101 fans to get their views on tonight’s game and the majority believes Chiefs will beat Sundowns.
“This will be a decider for Sundowns not for Chiefs, if they lose today they have lost the league, if they win today they will be in contention for the league. For them it’s a case of them winning, For us, we are comfortable at the top with 3 points and almost 10 goals in hand so If they win today, good luck to them and we can compete on a square base, the best one will win it at the end of the day .there are 12 points at stake for both of us and if we win all of them it means that we will beat them by goal difference but it’s for Sundowns to lose, history is on our side We’ve already beaten them twice, it’s going to be an interesting one, ” said Isaac Mangena.
He also continued, “Today, Chiefs will confuse Sundowns because they have been planning for the past six months for Kokota Piano, he is not there today. Their plans are going to fall flat, that’s when Khambole and Billiat are going to punish them, you will see each one of them is going to score when we beat Sundowns tonight. Pitso will be crying to a bed today is going to cry like a young child demanding to be tucked into bed with a lullaby, it’s going to be a very interesting one, we are very much comfortable, we are the underdogs tonight anyway”
We also talked to Sikumbuze Mncotsho who is a staunch Amakhosi fan and he also thinks Chiefs will win.
“The game can go any side tonight, the dedicated and driven team will win this match and the one that does will most likely win the league, we have a good record against downs this season and hopefully, we will continue with it and I am afraid of the social media streets if chiefs lose tonight the meme’s and statements that are gonna be made to mock us will hit the heart, I need something strong to indulge on tonight coz its gonna be lit,” said Sikumbuze Mncotsho.
Molefe Seleetsa, a die fan of Sundowns also shared his thoughts on the game
“Honestly, it’s make or break situation for tonight’s match in Mamelodi Sundowns’ case. We can’t deny the fact that there are 3 matches left after this, but it will determine if they stay in the title race or not,” said Molefe.
The game will be shown live on SuperSport 4 at 6pm { SAST }
