Kaizer Chiefs return to Betway Premiership action this afternoon when they travel to Polokwane to face Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The match gets underway at 15:00 on Saturday, 12 September 2026, with Chiefs hoping to build on their recent victory while City look to turn their home advantage into three points.
Chiefs have made a strong start to the campaign and currently sit third on 11 points after five matches. Their last league game produced a 3–2 win over Siwelele.
Polokwane City are further down the table in 10th place with six points. They were held to a 2–2 draw by Marumo Gallants in their previous match.
That leaves both teams with plenty to play for this afternoon.
Chiefs arrive with confidence
The 3–2 win against Siwelele was an important result for Chiefs. They will now want to avoid dropping points against City and keep themselves within touching distance of the teams at the top of the table.
An away match in Polokwane will not be straightforward, though. City will be playing in front of their home supporters and will be determined to make the occasion count.
City looking to move up the table
Polokwane City’s position does not tell the whole story of their recent performances.
The team earned a point in their last match against Marumo Gallants and will see today’s fixture as an opportunity to make a bigger statement.
Beating Chiefs would give City a major boost and could help them move up the standings, depending on other results.
