Kaizer Chiefs vs Marumo Gallants Prediction: The Amakhosi can't afford to go six games without a breakthrough

Kaizer Chiefs vs Marumo Gallants: Prediction and odds on the Match on 26 April 2025

With five games to wrap up the Betway Premiership campaign, Kaizer Chiefs will strive to end their five consecutive league games without a breakthrough against a solid Marumo Gallants side at the FNB Stadium on Saturday. 

The Amakhosi side are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league this season, and it’s looking extremely unlikely for them to play continental football next campaign. On the opposing end, Marumo Gallants have stepped up their game lately, and they’ll be keen to maintain their four-game unbeaten streak in the Betway Premiership.

The Amakhosi's terrible league run continued following their toothless stalemate against Chippa United on the road. Kaizer Chiefs were nowhere near their best as they managed seven shots in the entire ninety minutes. In their last five league matches, 

With the amount Kaizer Chiefs spent at the beginning of the season, and the quality of their squad, they have failed as a team this season. 

Nasreddine Nabi's men have picked up thirty-one points from a combined seventy-five, scoring twenty-four and conceding twenty-nine. Kaizer Chiefs presently sit in eighth spot on the log, with seven points behind the continental spot. 

Kaizer Chiefs have lost three, won five, and drawn four matches over their last twelve home fixtures. 

Kaizer Chiefs: Lineup

The Amakhosi, who have struggled lately, have been dealt a blow as their most important player this season. Gaston Sirino will sit out for one game following the accumulation of yellow cards. The same with Pule Mmodi, who received a yellow card against Chippa United. With both players out of this encounter, Nasreddine Nabi will be forced to tweak his team. The importance of Gaston Sirino can’t be overlooked, as he has scored three times and provided six assists across his last twenty-two games for Kaizer Chiefs. 

Kaizer Chiefs Starting Eleven (4-2-3-1)

Bruce Bvuma—Bradley Cross, Edmilson Gabriel Dove, Spiwe Msimango, Dillon Solomons—Yusuf Maart, Thabo Cele—Ashley Du Perez, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Makabi Lilepo—Wandile Duba

Out: Gaston Sirino (accumulation of yellow cards), Pule Mmodi (accumulation of yellow cards

Last five games: LWWDD

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's side dropped to fourteenth place on the log following their stalemate against Golden Arrows at home. Marumo Gallants started strong and threatened their opponent countless times. They were presented with the opportunity to take the lead after twenty-nine minutes of play, Edgar Manaka, who had been in top form for the Gallants, missed from the spot kick. Minutes later, Sede Junior Dion broke the deadlock for Marumo Gallants to give them the upper hand before the break. Unfortunately, after the break, they conceded a penalty and gifted their guests a chance to level. With twenty-three shots in the entire game, Maurmo Gallants managed three shots at goal, settling for a share of the spoils against Golden Arrows on their home turf. 

Before then, they settled for a stalemate on their ground against Supersport United, as they were outplayed by their guests. Maurmo Gallants have picked up twenty-seven points from a combined seventy-five, scoring twenty-two and conceding thirty-six times. 

This season, Marumo Gallants have won three games, shared the spoils once, and lost eight games on the road. 

Marumo Gallants: Lineup

Coach Daniel Malesela will approach this game without their captain, Edgar Manaka. The midfielder will sit on the bench after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season. His numbers can’t be replaced, having featured in all their games this season, providing two assists and scoring four times. It’s a big blow for Marumo Gallants, and this will definitely affect their game against Kaizer Chiefs tomorrow. 

Marumo Gallants Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Washington Arubi—Thabo Ncube,, Sibusiso Anthony Sibiya, Lebogang Alfred Mathiane, Tholang Mabotja—Thabang Nemtajela, Xola Nhlapo—Daniel Tawanda Msendami, Kamohelo Abel Mahlatsi, Cheick Oumar Conde—Ghabadinho Mhango

Kaizer Chiefs vs Marumo Gallants match prediction 26 April 2025

Kaizer Chiefs' woes continued with a toothless stalemate against Chippa United on the road. They were not entirely bad in the game, but they lacked the confidence to put the ball into the net. Kaizer Chiefs have scored in two of their last five league games, and it’s looking more likely that they won’t participate in the continental competition next season. On the opposing end, Marumo Gallants, despite the threats and chances created, failed to get a winner in their most recent game. 

This meeting has always ended in favour of the hosts; however, with the absence of their most important player, Gaston Sirino, they will lack creativity in the middle of the park. Marumo Gallants, on the other hand, will miss the service of their captain, Edgar Manaka. The importance of these players can’t be overstated.

Kaizer Chiefs have a pretty decent record against the guests, and since they have failed to win any of their last five league matches, I expect a more aggressive approach from them against Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership. 

Our match prediction is for Kaizer Chiefs to win or draw and score less than two goals for a coefficient of 1.83 on the Betway bookmaker website.

Our betting tip on this game is for both halves to witness less than a goal, which is available for a coefficient of 1.89 on the 1xbet bookmaker website.

Our final betting tip on this match is for Kaizer Chiefs to secure the maximum points for 1.78 on the Bet365 bookmaker website.

Good luck!
