Kaizer Chiefs will be bidding to win their first match in 2023 when they host Royal AM on Sunday afternoon at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
DStv Premiership
Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v Royal AM
Date: 29 January 2023
Venue: Peter Mokaba Stadium
Time: 19h30
Chiefs enter the clash on a three-match losing streak and are yet to score a goal in that run, which includes a 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns last weekend.
The Glamour Boys, as a result, have dropped down to sixth on the table and a win can take them only up to fifth, as they are four points behind fourth-placed Orlando Pirates.
Chiefs have been boosted by the news that new signing, Democratic Republic of Congo striker Christian Saile Basomboli is available for selection after he received his work permit.
Royal AM, meanwhile, are in a rough patch with only one win in their last six matches after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Chippa United the last time out.
Thwihli Thwahla have slipped down to 11th on the table, although just three points behind Chiefs and worryingly also just three points above the relegation zone.
Royal AM have a 100 percent winning record against Amakhosi in the top-flight, with the KwaZulu-Natal side securing a 1-0 win in the early-season fixture.

Kaizer Chiefs: 1. Petersen, 39. Frosler, 2. Dove, 30. Ngezana, 23. Hlanti, 6. Sithebe, 8. Maart, 42. Shabalala, 10. Dolly, 9. Du Preez, 28. Bimenyimana
