Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v Richards Bay
Date: 20 August 2022

Chiefs have had an inconsistent start under new head coach Arthur Zwane, as they already lost their second game of the season after they were humiliated 4-0 by Mamelodi Sundowns last Saturday.
The Glamour Boys have only one victory so far that has seen them placed 12th on the log with three points.
Chiefs will still be without striker Ashley Du Preez due to injury and recently announced the signing of another forward Burundian Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, who will wait for his paperwork to be processed before he can be available.
Richards Bay, in contrast, extended their unbeaten run in their debut season after edging ten-man Sekhukhune United 1-0 last Saturday.
The Natal Rich Boyz occupy second spot on the log with seven points and will be looking to return to the top of the log.
Richards Bay met Chiefs in the 2021 edition of the Nedbank Cup claimed a shock win while they were still campaigning in the Motsepe Foundation Championship (GladAfrica Championship).
Chiefs have also confirmed the clash at Moses Mabhida Stadium is sold out.
