Kaizer Chiefs vs Mamelodi Sundowns has become the biggest game in South African football, after the Soweto derby. Chiefs will be looking at upsetting reigning PSL and African champions, Downs, who will be sporting their new kit with a star above their emblem.
Chiefs, however, will not be fazed by this and for Amakhosi it's all about pride, bragging rights and three valuable points. Chiefs will always outnumber Downs on the stands, but Amakhosi will come into this fixture as underdogs, considering that the star-studded Downs have recently been crowned African champions, but this could also further motivate Amakhosi players on the day.
Pitso Mosimane had the better of Steve Khompela last season in both league and cup fixtures which justifies Downs' favourites tag and players such as Mabunda, Dolly, Billiat and Laffor will pose a threat to Chiefs. Khompela will look to the likes of Lebese, Ekstein, Tshabalala and Chirambadare to win the game for Amakhosi.
Whoever wins the game will be in a good position to win the league, but who will come out tops in one of Mzansi's biggest games?
