Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are set to clash at FNB Stadium this Thursday, reigniting their long-standing rivalry. The match was rescheduled to May 2nd by the PSL due to Sundowns playing TS Galaxy on Monday.
Chiefs, fresh from their first win in two months against SuperSport United, are gearing up for a tough battle. Coach Cavin Johnson sees this game as pivotal, aiming to turn their season around. Sundowns, having suffered their first defeat last season at the hands of Chiefs, are eager to maintain their dominance.
Johnson emphasized the importance of each remaining game, likening them to cup finals, with hopes for a top-three finish still alive. However, Chiefs may face challenges with six potential absences, including key players like Itumeleng Khune and Keagan Dolly due to illness and suspension.
