Chiefs seek second league win on the bounce

Kaizer Chiefs will look to claim a second successive victory in the Betway Premiership as they host Orbit College at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

Kick-off is at 7:30pm CAT.

CURRENT FORM

Kaizer Chiefs claimed their first Betway Premiership win since 30 August on Friday, beating Durban City 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

AmaKhosi struck in the 88th minute through substitute Flávio Silva, who has bagged three goals in four league appearances since joining the Soweto giants.

Despite suffering a loss and three consecutive draws in between league wins, Chiefs sit fourth on the standings with 19 points from 10 games, and are level on points with their archrivals, Orlando Pirates.

Despite a slow start to the league campaign, Orbit College have claimed three wins, one draw and one loss in the club's last five league games.

The Mswenko boys have won two on the trot in the Betway Premiership after defeating Magesi 3-1 at Olympia Park on Saturday. They sit 11th on the standings with 13 points from 11 games.

They will be looking to extend their winning streak as they face Chiefs for the first time in the top flight.

WHAT WAS SAID

Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze admitted that his side were not at their best against Durban City last weekend.

“It's true that we were not at our best but it’s a league, it’s a marathon you need to win even when we’re not at our best,” said Kaze.

“Because I remember a few weeks ago there were some games [where] we had like 70 per cent possession, 20 shots on target [and] we didn’t win the game. It’s those games like today, you’re not at our best and you need to win to get the three points.”

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Kaizer Chiefs - Mfundo Vilakazi has started Chief’s last three games after returning from the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The young star is yet to score in the league this season and will be looking to open his account on Tuesday.

Orbit College - Monnapule Saleng has begun to find his form following his loan move from Orlando Pirates, scoring twice and assisting twice in nine league games. The 27-year-old will be looking to push his side to a statement win.
