A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Kaizer Chiefs fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Chippa United's 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Kaizer are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Chippa are struggling to avoid relegation.
