Struggling Baroka will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kaizer Chiefs in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Baroka are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Kaizer are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Kaizer had fun at their own home (Peter Mokaba Stadium) last time out, beating Chippa United 1-0. K. Billiat scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bidvest Wits wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
