Absa Premiership Round 21 – Kaizer Chiefs vs Ajax Cape Town
Date: 4 March 2015
Time: 19:30
Venue: FNB Stadium
PSL leaders, Kaizer Chiefs have not had the best of starts in 2015. They are yet to score a league goal, better yet win a match. The Glamour Boys will host the resurgent Ajax Cape Town at the FNB Stadium looking to extend their lead at the summit ahead of the mouth-watering Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates on the weekend. The Urban Warriors come off the back of a 2-0 win over Chippa United, a result that has seen them climb up to fifth on the PSL standings.

Key Stats:
Overall stats favour the home side ahead of tonight’s match, but with Roger De Sa's troops having found the back of the net in their last three matches, they will aim to breach the best defence in the PSL who have only conceded 10 goals in 20 matches.
