It is survival of the fittest with the Amakhosi looking to hunt down Black Leopards.

A draw for either side would feel like a loss as both sides are desperate for the three points on offer.

The Amakhosi need to win to continue their fight for a top 8 finish. The top 8 finishers in this season’s DStv Premiership standings will qualify for the MTN 8 next year.

The MTN 8 is the bare minimum for Hunt.

They can only play in Africa next season if they win the CAF Champions League.

In contrast, Black Leopards are fighting for survival. If they lose today they will be all but relegated from the DStv Premiership with Chippa United needing just one point to ensure survival.

Kaizer Chiefs currently lie 11th on 30 points in the DStv Premiership.

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FOR CHIEFS

They could climb as high as eighth position with a win.

The Soweto giants may well have to win their remaining three matches which include fixtures against Golden Arrows and TS Galaxy.
