Chiefs remain unbeaten this season with four wins and a draw from their opening five matches. Their most recent outing saw them edge Golden Arrows 1–0 away from home, a result that kept them in 3rd place and within touching distance of the top of the log. Sekhukhune have also made an impressive start, matching Chiefs with four wins and a draw, and they currently sit 2nd after a confident 2–0 home victory over Durban City.
With both sides proving difficult to break down, this encounter promises to be a tightly contested battle on Tuesday evening.
Head-to-Head
The last time these sides met was in the league last season. Chiefs claimed a narrow 1–0 home win in the first encounter, while the return fixture ended in a 1–1 draw.
Odds: Chiefs 2.10 | Draw 2.80 | Sekhukhune 4.30
Verdict
With home advantage and enough attacking quality, Chiefs look well-placed to edge what should be another tightly contested encounter, and they are my pick to take the 3 points. I am keeping this simple with a straight win bet but if you are looking for a bigger price consider Chiefs by exactly 1 goal at (handicap -1 the draw) at 3.50
Bet: Kaizer Chiefs to win at 2.10

Durban City vs Siwelele – click here to bet
Durban City have made a steady start to the season with two wins and two draws from their opening five matches, with their only defeat coming in a 2–0 loss away to Sekhukhune last time out. They have looked well organised overall, particularly on home turf, and will be eager to bounce back here.
Siwelele, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency, managing just one win from their five outings. Their most recent result was a 0–0 stalemate at home against Richards Bay, a performance that again highlighted their lack of cutting edge in attack. With a goal difference of –2 heading into this clash, they will need to sharpen up in the final third to compete.
Head-to-Head
This will be the first-ever Premiership meeting between these two clubs, and both will be determined to make a statement and claim an early psychological edge.
Odds: Durban City 2.38 | Draw 2.85 | Siwelele 3.38
Verdict
Durban City appear the more composed and consistent side at this stage of the season. With Siwelele still searching for rhythm, the hosts look the more reliable option, and I expect them to get the job done in a low-scoring affair. I am once again betting on a home win but for a bigger price consider the Result and Totals Market, Durban City and Under 1.5 Goals at 5.50
Bet: Durban City win at 2.38
