Like the saying goes when the elephants fight its the grass suffers that will be the case today in a literal sense as the top two in the South Africa Premier Soccer League, Kaizer Chiefs, and Mamelodi Sundowns face off at the Orlando Stadium.
The Glamour Boys lead the log with 53 points while Masandawana is in a close second with 50 points and with just four games to go for both sides this game may just decide who wins the title at the end of the season.
KAMBOLE BACK TO SCORING GOALS
Kaizer Chiefs needed Lazarus Kambole to come from the bench and rescue a point for them in their last game and in as much as it was not a good result it was good for Kambole to end is drought and finally, return to doing what he does best.
Prior to his move to Amakhosi, Kambole was one of the most lethal strikers on the Continent but went through a lengthy dry spell and he will be happy that it is finally over. Chipolopolo boss Milutin Sredojevic will also be watching with keen interest.
With Samir Nurkovic serving a suspension and Leonardo Castro out injured Coach, Ernst Middendorp is expected to give Kambole a starting berth today. Kambole usually starts slow, evident from his Zesco United spell but after that goal, you can expect more from the Chilabombwe product.
MWEENE OR ONYANGO
Kennedy Mweene was given a rare start in Sundowns last game and the Chipolopolo goal minder recorded a clean sheet as Masandawana recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Steve Kamphela’s Golden Arrows.
Prior to that Dennis Onyango was the man between the sticks and they conceded in almost every game since the resumption, hence coach Pitso ‘Jingles’ Mosimane has a had time deciding who to start between the two experienced goalkeepers.
Kick off at Orlando Stadium is set at 18:00hrs Central African time.
