Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to keep the pressure at the top of the Betway Premiership table as they attempt to redeem themselves against Stellenbosch at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
Kick-off is at 7:30pm CAT (SA, GMT+2).
CURRENT FORM
Kaizer Chiefs come into the fixture off the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Zamalek in Cairo on 14 February which saw AmaKhosi crash out of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Phefeni Glamour Boys were the only team across both CAF interclub competitions (Champions League and Confederation Cup) to claim 10 points in group play and not qualify for the knockout stage.
In the Betway Premiership, Chiefs are sitting in fourth on the table with eight wins, six draws and one loss. In addition, they have two games in hand on log-leaders Orlando Pirates.
They have managed to remain undefeated in the league since their 3-1 loss to Sekhukhune in September. In their last five league clashes, they have managed three wins and two draws.
AmaKhosi have only the league title to aspire for now, having been eliminated from the Nedbank Cup by Stellenbosch in the first round.
Stellenbosch were also eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup, having ended their group G campaign with a goalless draw against Singida Black Stars on 15 February.
Since returning to domestic action, the Maroons managed a 1-1 draw with bottom-of-the-log Magesi on 18 February in the league before exiting the Nedbank Cup in the round of 16 at the hands of Lamontville Golden Arrows on Sunday.

The Cape Winelands-based side are struggling in the Betway Premiership, sitting in 13th place with 16 points taken from four wins, four draws and eight losses.
In their last five league fixtures, the Maroons have won two, lost two and drawn one.
They will be hoping for a repeat of their first round Nedbank Cup performance, which saw them defeat The Phefeni Glamour Boys 2-1 in Cape Town.
WHAT WAS SAID
Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef believes the two sides know each other well and is hoping the result will reflect a good performance from his side.
“We know the weak points and positive points for Stellenbosch. I think Carling Cup or Nedbank Cup, it was a different game. The performance was there but the result wasn't there. Tomorrow the most important things [is] that the result [reflects] the performance.”
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Kaizer Chiefs: Glody Lilepo has bagged three goals in his last four games for AmaKhosi. The Congolese attacker possesses pace to burn and could be the undoing of Stellenbosch’s defence on Tuesday
Stellenbosch: Langelihle Phili has taken a step up this year, becoming the Maroons’ most prolific scorer this season. The 21-year-old has bagged six goals in league action and will be looking to add to his tally and propel his side further up the table.
HEAD-TO-HEAD (League results)
Kaizer Chiefs wins: 7
Stellenbosch wins: 3
Draws: 3
