When is Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs and is it on TV?

Kaizer Chiefs face the daunting challenge of a trip to champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Here are all the details.

Sundowns host Chiefs as they hurtle towards the title

Sundowns have won the Betway Premiership title seven times on the bounce. A win here would make number eight seem more and more plausible. They hold a 12-point lead over their only viable challengers, Orlando Pirates, although the Buccaneers have three games in hand. Sundowns vs Chiefs kicks off at 15:30 on Saturday 01 March. The clash is aired on SuperSport Channel 202. How on earth is February already over?

Dove returns

31-year-old Mozambican defender Edmilson Dove is fit again, giving manager Nasreddine Nabi a much-needed utility option in his back four.

“Amakhosi coach, Nasreddine Nabi will be delighted to have Edmilson Dove available for this weekend’s Betway Premiership blockbuster against Mamelodi Sundowns, with the Mozambique international fully recovered from injury,” the club confirmed.

Injury and suspension update from the Kaizer Chiefs camp

Three players are currently on the treatment table, which you can see listed below. They must also battle the Brazilians without former Sundowns star Gaston Sirino, who’s suspended after a dismissal against SuperSport United. Chiefs lost 4-1 at Gavin Hunt’s Matsatsantsa side last time out.

• Wandile Duba
• Dillan Solomons

Chiefs fans bemoan club’s business in the transfer market

At his peak value, transfermarkt estimates that Mduduzi Mdantsane was at his most desirable in the market in February 2023 when they gauged him to be worth €1.2m (R22.8 million). Now, exactly two years later, they figure he’s worth half that (R11.4 million). Injuries have ravaged his time at Naturena, including a terribly unfortunate one sustained in a car accident, but when fit his form hasn’t been to the standard expected by Chiefs. He cost something in the region of R13 million. Whether they can recoup any of that money after his loan spell with Richards Bay is unclear. A clearly talented player, he’s flattered to deceive. Are Chiefs fans right? Do players get worse when they become Glamour Boys?
