SuperSport United vs. Kaizer Chiefs
Super Stadium, Pretoria
Tuesday 18 August 2009
Kickoff: 19:30
TV: 19:00 – 22:00 (SuperSport 4)

Still missing the services of their star midfielder Simphiwe Tshabalala, Kaizer Chiefs go into this game in need of a positive result ahead of their MTN 8 Semi final clash against Ajax Cape Town on the weekend.

Traveling to Pretoria to face Amatsatsantsa as Supersport is famously known will not be an easy task for the Phefeni boys. It is no doubt that Supersport will be looking to strengthen their league dominance over Kaizer Chiefs. While Supersport United will be relying on the likes of new signing Siyabonga Nkosi and the prowess of Antony Lafour to win the game for them, Chiefs welcome back Nkosinathi Nhleko who’s just recovered from a bout of flu that saw him miss the first leg of the MTN 8 semifinal against Ajax.

Verdict
Supersport have the home advantage, if last season’s performance is anything to go by then Supersport certainly have a psychological edge over Amakhosi. After being knocked out in the first round of the MTN 8, Supersport have had nothing else to do than prepare for this game. Chiefs on the other hand are slowly running out of steam, this was proven on Saturday as they failed to keep up with the Ajax young and energetic team. This match will be a fitness test Chiefs will find very hard to pass.

Score prediction
Supersport 1 – 1 Kaizer Chiefs
