Kaizer Chiefs travel to the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium this evening where they face Polokwane City in a Betway Premiership clash, with kick-off set for 17:30.
Amakhosi arrive in strong form, having now made it five wins in a row. That run has pushed them up to third place on the log with 45 points, keeping their push for a CAF Champions League spot very much alive.
They are still 11 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and 10 behind Orlando Pirates in second, but the recent consistency has changed the mood around the team.

FIVE-WIN RUN PUTS CHIEFS IN STRONG POSITION
Across the season so far, Chiefs have picked up 13 wins, 6 draws and only 4 defeats. Their latest performances have stood out, including a controlled 2-0 win over TS Galaxy and a confident 3-1 victory against Orbit College, showing both stability and attacking improvement.
At the back, they remain one of the strongest defensive sides in the league. Chiefs have conceded just 14 goals in 23 matches, which ranks as the third-best defensive record in the division. Going forward, they have scored 28 goals, doing enough to win games without being overly flashy.
STRONG AWAY FORM BOOSTS AMAKHOSI
One of the more impressive parts of their season has been their away form. On the road, Chiefs have collected 6 wins with only a single defeat.
At home, they have 7 wins and 3 losses, a slightly more mixed record but still solid enough to keep them competitive at the top of the table as the season enters its final stretch.
