Chiefs have been struggling for consistency with only one win in their last five league matches and will be under pressure to respond after a 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City on Sunday.
Amakhosi remained in seventh spot on the log with 15 points and will be hoping to climb up the ladder, as they are only two points behind fourth-placed Sekhukhune United.
