Kaizer Chiefs look to continue their fine run of form against Cape Town City when the PSL leaders host Jan Olde Riekerink’s men at FNB Stadium.

Amakhosi have won their last three games against the Citizens, including two in Cape Town this season.

Chiefs beat City 2-1 at Newlands in the league and on penalties in the Telkom Knockout following a 1-1 draw.

Kermit Erasmus scored for City in both of those matches, but the games changed after he was substituted off.

Erasmus has not scored since netting twice against Polokwane City in a 5-3 win in November.

The man grabbing the headlines at the moment for Chiefs is Leonardo Castro, with Ernst Middendorp heaping praise on the Colombian following his midweek brace in the 3-0 win over Highlands Park.

“It’s unbelievable‚ probably it was my fault‚ I don’t know – until May I even didn’t know he was able to speak English in a proper way‚” Middendorp said, as quoted by TimesLIVE.

“No‚ let’s be honest – he was actually very introverted and not really inside the team.

“And then he started showing up in a different way. And we started to unlock attitude and unlock a certain direction with all this experience we had in the final six months of the 2018-19 season.”

Kick-off time and prediction

Kick-off time: 12 January, 15:30

Prediction: Kazier Chiefs are flying. Not only do they top the league table, but they have a 69% expected chance of winning and usually win 90% of their fixtures with these odds.
