Prediction
Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 Siwelele
Chiefs are clear favourites at home against a side yet to win this season. Expect the Amakhosi to control possession and create the clearer chances. Siwelele will sit deep and look for counters, but Chiefs should have enough quality to secure a comfortable victory and keep pace near the top of the table.
