Kaizer Chiefs will be aiming to maintain their perfect start to the Betway Premiership when they host Richards Bay FC this evening.
Betway Premiership
Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v Richards Bay
Date: 18 August 2025
Venue: FNB Stadium
Chiefs secured back-to-back wins in the league after defeating Polokwane City 1-0 just days after overcoming Stellenbosch FC.
The Soweto giants are still without head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is in Tunisia attending to a family matter.
Another win this evening could see Chiefs move to the top of the table, provided Durban City and Sekhukhune United also fail to win.
Richards Bay, meanwhile, are going in search of their first win after starting the campaign with back-to-back losses to Marumo Gallants and Golden Arrows.
The Natal Rich Boyz can take comfort from the fact that they defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 when they last met in the league back in March.
Here's how they line up:
Kaizer Chiefs: 1. Petersen, 2. Monyane, 48. Cross, 35. McCarthy, 84. Miguel, 21. Cele, 5. Mthethwa, 8. Ndlovu, 19. Shabalala, 36. Duba, 10. Lilepo
