Polokwane host unbeaten Kaizer Chiefs
The Glamour Boys are unbeaten after five Betway Premiership assignments and will be looking to keep that run going under new boss Fernando Da Cruz. Most recently, they beat Siwelele 3-2 with Mfundo Vilakazi and Wandile Duba among those on the score sheet. Lebo Maboe and Mdu Shabalala assisted Vilakazi and Duba respectively. Polokwane have made a more indifferent start, winning only once, drawing three matches and losing the other. Polokwane vs Chiefs kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday, 12 September. The match, as ever, will air on DStv SuperSport channel 202.
