Sundowns have been the standard bearers in this competition for nearly a decade. They have been victorious in 80% of the league meetings happening on weekends in the last 10 seasons, with the match usually played on weekends. Interestingly, in PSL history, this fixture has been played on every day of the week except Tuesday.
Despite their recent struggles against Sundowns, Chiefs have started the current season on a high note, winning all three games. They are aiming for four consecutive clean sheets at the start of a PSL season for the first time, having not yet conceded a goal.
The "Value bet" for this match is both teams scoring, while the "Main bet" leans towards a draw or a Sundowns win.
