Royal AM and Kaizer Chiefs will get their PSL campaign restarted when they face off at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently in 14th place in the league standings, while the visitors are sixth. Royal AM will be hoping for a better second half of the season after making a slow start. They have taken just 18 points from their first 16 league games and are the first side above the relegation playoff spot. However, with the league table still being very compact, a win in this match could see them move up as many as three places to 11th. Before the AFCON break, Thwihli Thwahla suffered their heaviest defeat of the season, losing 3-0 to Amazulu. That result snapped up a three-match unbeaten run that included two wins and a stalemate against Moroka Swallows. At home, Royal are still unbeaten in their last three and have kept four clean sheets in seven matches this season. The reverse fixture between these sides ended goalless, but the hosts are the underdogs here, according to the latest odds. 

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs were finally finding some much-needed form before the league ground to a halt last year, and they will be hoping to pick up from where they left off. Their final match of 2023 ended in a 1-1 draw away to Sekhukhune United and followed three consecutive 1-0 wins over Swallows, Polokwane City and Richards Bay. That took AmaKhosi to 24 points after 16 matches, five points behind the top three. A win here could propel them up to fourth in the standings, but they will need both Pirates and Stellies to drop points this weekend for that to happen. On the road, The glamour boys are unbeaten in their last three (W2 D1 L0) and have taken ten points from a possible 24 over the course of the season. Chiefs are unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent in all competitions, though they did lose their last league visit here back in 2022.
