Kaizer Chiefs Face Magesi FC in Crucial Betway Premiership Clash
Kaizer Chiefs take on Magesi FC in the Betway Premiership at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday evening, with both sides eager for a crucial three points.
Chiefs will be desperate to avoid a third consecutive defeat as they fight to maintain their place in the top eight, with Chippa United and other teams closing in on them. The Soweto giants suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to title-chasing Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, adding to their recent struggles.
On the other hand, Magesi FC, known as Dikwena Tsa Meetse, will head into the encounter with confidence after bouncing back from a defeat to Stellenbosch FC by stunning SuperSport United in Seshego. That victory moved them within a point of 14th-placed Richards Bay FC, with only ten matches remaining in their season.
Chiefs will have to navigate this match without two key players, Gaston Sirino and Thabo Cele, both serving suspensions. Meanwhile, Magesi FC have no suspensions and will have a full squad available.
The last meeting between the two sides ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, with Mduduzi Shabalala scoring a late brace to rescue a point for Amakhosi.
