The visiting Kaizer Chiefs side should be favourites in this visit to Polokwane City, as the away team holds a 26 point advantage from their 23 league games this season.
Kaizer Chiefs could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only three sleeps ago.
Polokwane City form and stats
Polokwane City have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-6 (wins-draws-losses). Polokwane has recorded two wins in a row here at Peter Mokaba Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The fans are hoping that Polokwane will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against Maritzburg United (placed 6th). Ahead of that match, Polokwane won a home game hosting Black Leopards (2-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Polokwane as they are travelling to their away game against SuperSport United in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
The Polokwane City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. Polokwane have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Kaizer's last game was the home draw against Bidvest Wits (1-1). A 0-1 loss hosting AmaZulu before that.
Kaizer has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Bloemfontein Celtic in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
