Kaizer Cheifs will look to return to winning ways in the PSL when they face Polokwane City at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Both sides are currently locked on 35 points each, with Chiefs ahead on goal difference. Kaizer Chiefs put on another mediocre performance on Monday when they played out a 1-1 draw down in Durban against AmaZulu. That result marked their third consecutive league match without victory, including a 5-1 drubbing against champions Mamelodi Sundowns and a 2-2 draw at home to TS Galaxy. AmaKhosi have now won just two matches in all competitions in 2024 and only one in their last nine in the South African top flight. At home, the Glamour Boys have recorded six wins, four draws and four losses in 14 games this season and are aiming to avoid a third winless result on the bounce. However, the hosts did win the reverse fixture 1-0 back in December and are the bookmakers’ favourite in this one.
Meanwhile, Polokwane City also played out a stalemate last weekend, drawing 0-0 at home to Sekhukhune United. While they are now unbeaten in three games, they have failed to score in their last two matches and have won just once in their last eight. Rise and Shine’s major difficulty this season has been turning one point into three. They have drawn a total of 11 games in this campaign, which is the second-most of any team in the division. On the road, the visitors have recorded four wins, five draws, and five losses this season and managed to snap up a four-game winless run with a 1-0 win over Cape Town Spurs in their last outing. A win will take Polokwane above Chiefs into eighth place but a loss could see them drop as low as 13th, depending on results elsewhere over the weekend.

Therefore, our Kaizer Chiefs vs Polokwane City prediction: Polokwane City Under 1.5 goals.
