Top spot in the Betway Premiership is up for grabs in our featured match on Tuesday when Kaizer Chiefs clash with Sekhukhune
Kaizer Chiefs
Chiefs come into the game in third spot, unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw, scoring 5 goals and they have yet to concede. They are just behind their opponents here on goal difference and 1 point behind Sundowns who top the standings having played their sixth match of the Betway Premiership season at the weekend. Downs are in action away to Marumo Gallants on Wednesday but any winner here will go top for at least 24 hours.
Chiefs most recent game came on the 30th August when they were 1-0 winners away to Golden Arrows and prior to that they played out a 0-0 stalemate with Sundowns at Soccer City. They began their campaign away to Stellenbosch and came away from Athlone with a 2-0 win before following up with a pair of 1-0 home wins over Polokwane City and Richards Bay. Chiefs are the only top flight side who have yet to concede this season.
Sekhukhune
Sekhukhune's record is identical to Chiefs, 4 wins, 1 draw, no defeats but they have scored 8 goals and conceded just the 1. They started their league campaign with a 1-0 win at Pirates before taking maximum points from a 1-0 home win over TX Galaxy and a 3-0 victory away to Orbit College. They were held to a 1-1 by Amazulu in another fixture and last time out they were 2-0 winners at home to Durban City.
Recent Head to Head
Chiefs edged this fixture 1-0 last season and the return finished all square at 1-1.
The Betting
At the time of writing Chiefs are 19/20 to win the game with the draw at 19/10 and Sekhukhune can be backed at 36/10
A game of 3 goals or more in total is priced at 1.75/1 and it's 14/10 for both teams to score.
Odds, Betway, subject to change
Verdict
Both sides return to action from a lengthy break and on the evidence so far there looks to be very little between them. The draw looks tempting but Chiefs to win by 1 goal exactly has been a profitable outcome for me on a couple of occasions this season and I'll stick with it.
Bet: Winning Margin, Chiefs by 1 goal exactly at 2.65/1 with Betway
