Kaizer Chiefs vs AmaZulu Prediction: Which side will pick the three points here

In the South African Premier League, Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu will compete against each other at FNB Stadium. AmaZulu enters this encounter positioned in the 12th position with three points, while Kaizer Chiefs are seated in the 13th position with only one point from their previous three matches.

After suffering a loss to TS Galaxy by the score of 1-0 in the Premier Division in their most recent match, Kaizer Chiefs won't want a recurrence of that result here. During that match, Kaizer Chiefs had 58% control of the ball and 9 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots finding the target. Brandon Peterson was the one who put the ball in the back of the net for the Kaizer Chiefs in the 49th own goal. On the other end of the field, TS Galaxy had 14 shots on goal, five of which were successful. The most recent games that Kaizer Chiefs have played have not seen them in particularly fine attacking form. During their previous six matches, they have scored just two goals against opposing teams. During those matches, the Kaizer Chiefs conceded a total of seven goals.

The match that came before this one between AmaZulu and Richards Bay in the Premier Division ended in a scoreless draw. During that match, AmaZulu had 62% of the possession and shot six times on goal, but only managed to get one shot on target. On the other hand, Richards Bay had 13 shots on goal, with only two of them actually hitting the target. Over the course of their past six matches, the attacking players for AmaZulu have not been able to find the back of the net, registering an abysmal return of just two goals. During seven encounters, Usuthu's opponents have scored a total of seven goals, which is equal to their own team's goal total.

Both the Kaizer Chiefs and the AmaZulu have a relatively solid head-to-head history, as they have played each other 29 times over the course of the last few seasons, with the Kaizer Chiefs claiming victory in 16 of those games and AmaZulu claiming victory in 4 of those games. There were nine games that were decided by a tie. In the head-to-head matchups, Kaizer Chiefs scored 44 goals, while AmaZulu only managed to score 19.

My thinking is that AmaZulu might have trouble putting a goal past this Kaizer Chiefs lineup, who ought to be able to do enough to score at the other end and get the upper hand. As a result, I anticipate an exciting contest, with Kaizer Chiefs emerging victorious with a score of 1-0 after the dust has settled.
