Kaizer Chiefs will welcome AmaZulu for a Premier Soccer League encounter at FNB Stadium on Wednesday.

Amakhosi will be looking to win their third straight game after victories against Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby on November 6, before they faced and picked up three points against Maritzburg United last Sunday.

Benni McCarthy's side, on the other hand, will be hoping to register a win after a 2-2 draw against Stellenbosch on November 20.

Chiefs are currently sixth on the log with 18 points from 11 games while Usuthu - who have been quite inconsistent on the domestic front - are eighth, three points below their midweek rivals.

Match Preview

The last time the two PSL outfits met, they ended up sharing points courtesy of a 1-1 draw on October 2.

Luvuyo Memela had given Usuthu the lead at home in the opening stages of the first half before Keagan Dolly restored parity in the fifth minute of added time from the spot.

In the previous five games staged at FNB Stadium, Stuart Baxter's side has recorded wins on two occasions, lost twice and drew in one instance against the Durban club.

The Caf Champions League participants have three wins from 11 league matches in the 2021-22 campaign while Amakhosi - who started the season looking unstable - have four victories from their last five.

Kaizer Chiefs would hope to register a win in order to remain above their cross-town rivals Orlando Pirates and keep closing the gap with the leading sides.
