Kaizer Chiefs VS Maritzburg United

Amakhosi take on Maritzburg United at the FNB Stadium in a DSTV Premiership match on Tuesday the 9th of August and they will be looking to get their season back on track after a disappointing 1-0 loss against Royal AM in their opening game of the 2022/2023 DSTV Premiership on Saturday.

Maritzburg United opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Sekhukhune United at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday.

An interesting statistic to look into is the fact that Amakhosi conceded an early goal in the second minute of the game while Maritzburg United scored a late equalizer in the 85th minute of their game, however they also conceded an early goal.

Both teams will be looking to work on starting the game well and finishing strong as they know all too well how a short lapse of concentration can cost them.

How they finished last season:

Kaizer Chiefs had a disappointing 2021/2022 DSTV Premiership campaign and they finished in fifth place with 47 points from 30 matches played which included 13 wins, eight draws and nine defeats.

Maritzburg United finished in 12th position on the 2021/2022 DSTV Premiership table with 31 points from 30 matches played which included seven wins, ten draws and 13 defeats.

The last time the two teams met:

Amakhosi beat Maritzburg United 2-0 at the FNB Stadium in December 2021. Khama Billiat opened the scoring for Kaizer Chiefs and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo found the back of the net towards the end of the game.

Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 Maritzburg United

Players to watch:

Kaizer Chiefs talisman Khama Billiat is yet to win a trophy with Amakhosi. Billiat won seven major trophies with Sundowns and he will be giving his all to ensure Kaizer Chiefs challenge for the DSTV Premiership this season.


“I want to do better than I’ve ever done. I want to win something with the team, so I’ll keep on working hard individually,” said Billiat.

Billiat added that he cannot win the title by himself and it will require a team effort from Kaizer Chiefs.

“As a team, we also need everyone to realize that we need to get something at the end of the season.”

Meanwhile Maritzburg United will be looking to Tshegofatso Mabasa to continue where he left off against Sekhukhune United and find the back of the net.
