If you haven’t got a ticket for Saturday afternoon’s crunch clash between Kaizer Chiefs and champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium, you best find a comfortable seat at home.

Kaizer Chiefs announced on their social media channels on Saturday that tickets for their Betway Premiership game were sold out.

With both teams starting the new league season in an impressive fashion, their fans are clamouring to see them live in action.

Under Nasreddine Nabi, Chiefs look a completely different unit than they were last season, where they finished 10th.

In their two games so far, Amakhosi have displayed the kind of swag that was last seen when they last won the league in 2015. They were unplayable in the first half hour of their clash against AmaZulu earlier this week, where they went on to win 3-1. And in their league opener against Marumo Gallants, they played with confidence and maturity, even after going a goal down.

So far, everything suggests that Kaizer Chiefs are back among the big boys.

For the champions Sundowns, they will be out to prove that they are still the undisputed kings of South African football.

After a perfect start to their season, many still doubt that Manqoba Mngqithi is the right man to lead the side following Rulani Mokwena’s sudden departure.

A win against Chiefs will ease a lot of fans’ worries about Mngqithi’s credentials.

Saturday’s game will kick off at 3pm.
