Game Prediction
In South Africa, the season has unfolded, with 13 rounds behind us. This weekend, in the local Premier Division, the upcoming matchday will feature Polokwane City facing Kaizer Chiefs. Both teams are closely positioned in the league table, just outside the group of leaders. The audience of the site is offered a forecast and preview for this match on December 9, 2023.
Polokwane City has made a return to the country's top division.
The "Orange" emerged in South African football in 2012 when entrepreneurs from Limpopo acquired the franchise. Despite a tragic car accident in November, claiming the lives of several footballers, they managed to break into the Premier League. However, the enthusiasm gradually waned, and their foothold in the top division was lost. They only returned this year, claiming the top spot. Overall, their performance as newcomers has been commendable: victories in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, followed by an undefeated streak in the autumn, extending to seven matches. It was only in the last round that they succumbed 0-3 to TS Galaxy.

Kaizer Chiefs - a grandeur that has recently faded into obscurity.
The "Chiefs" have been champions 12 times in South Africa. They have also left their mark in continental tournaments, winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 2001 and reaching the final of the Champions League a couple of decades later. However, a decline set in, with recent performances placing them fifth in the South African Premier Division. Currently, their statistics are rather mediocre, managing to win two matches in a row only once. Over 13 rounds, they garnered 5 victories with 6 defeats (although their goal difference is positive). With seventeen points, they struggle to break into the top five. However, Stellenbosch, currently fourth, has only a one-win advantage.
Previous encounters:
Kaiser Chiefs used to dominate, but since the middle of the last decade, results between the sides have been almost evenly distributed. The last meeting occurred in the 2019/2020 season when they exchanged minimal away victories.
