CHIEFS VISIT CITY TO REDEEM THEMSELVES, CITY LOOKING FOR VERY FIRST VICTORY

Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs will have a clash to headline seven DStv Premiership fixtures across the weekend of Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 March. The Citizens and the Amakhosi will meet at the Athlone Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with the hosts still chasing a first win of 2024 and the visitors looking to bounce back from a dramatic Soweto derby defeat earlier in the month.

The citizens have not won in five league and cup matches, most recently suffering a 2-0 loss away to Royal AM before the Fifa break. The poor sequence of results has seen them drop to fifth place on the log, though they are still very much in the running to finish in second spot behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

“The fact of the matter is that we are not playing well enough, it is as simple as that. We will get back to the drawing board and look to change that. We’ve been down this route before, we will find the way out,” said City coach Eric Tinkler.

His counterpart at Chiefs, Cavin Johnson, is still stinging from a 3-2 loss to arch-rivals Orlando Pirates in their last outing – as well as a run of just one win from their last six matches across all competitions.
