MTN8 preview: Kaizer Chiefs vs AmaZulu

Overall, Chiefs are unbeaten in four matches, including a 2-1 win over SuperSport in their last DStv Premiership match before the break. By contrast, AmaZulu has won just one of their last five. These sides have drawn three of their last five head-to-heads, but AmaZulu’s record in away matches in domestic cups is awful. They’ve won just one of twelve away matches in domestic Cups (D3 L8 since 2014).
