The Kaizer Chiefs are looking to bounce back from last weekend’s humiliation as they travel to the Eastern Cape for a game against Chippa United on Tuesday night.
Amakhosi had a rude awakening on the opening weekend of the new PSL season, losing 3-0 to reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs: PSL preview
With a short response time of just three days, Gavin Hunt’s men have to dust themselves off in search of their first points of the campaign.
They face a team that screwed up in their opening game, thanks to Augustine Kwem’s second-half draw against Cape Town.
The Nigerian forward’s goal ensured the Chilli Boys would walk away from Mother City with one point, and they will look to take advantage of that against Amakhosi, who had a mediocre performance in their backyard.
Past meetings
The Kaizer Chiefs will have happy memories of their last visit to Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, where they recorded a 2-0 victory on a double by Dumisani Zuma.
Their next encounter saw the Soweto Giants complete the league double with a 1-0 win at home.
It’s even Stevens in terms of head-to-head results between the two sides, with each club sitting on five wins since the Chilli Boys’ rise to the top flight.
Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs: team news
Since the beginning of the season, which began with a cup match earlier in the month, Kaizer Chiefs has lined up veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune.
The experienced closer had a nightmare outing against the Sundowns, and was able to return to the bench, where he spent much of last season.
This is after the return of Nigerian international Daniel Akpeyi from injury, which was confirmed by Hunt.
“He (Akpeyi) is available for selection after recovering from injury and his passport renewal is also ordered. It’s always good to have competition in the team areas. “
