A large portion of those fans will be donning gold and black and will be looking to spur Chiefs onto the title, the Amakhosi have an outside shot of lifting the Absa Premiership trophy at the end of the ninety minutes against AmaZulu.
A Chiefs win added with an Orlando Pirates draw against Golden Arrows and defeat for Ajax Cape Town could see the Amakhosi crowned champions.
For his part Amakhosi coach Vladimir Vermezovic has kept faith with the same starting eleven that did duty against league leaders Ajax Cape Town a fortnight ago in Polokwane, on that occasion Chiefs ran out 4-0 victors and the Serbian mentor will be hoping for a similar accomplished performance as Chiefs look to close out the season with a win.
Itumeleng Khune starts in goal and Chiefs will be playing with what looks to be a 4-4-1-1 combination with Knowledge Musona Chiefs top scorer this season looking to finish off the season with a flurry goal playing upfront supported by a strong midfield that includes Chiefs two goal hero from the win over Ajax Siphiwe Tshabalala as well as Josta Dladla, Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Mandla Masango.
With the experience Tinashe Nengomasha also strengthening the midfield, while Thomas Sweswe and Valery Nahayo will be marshaling the center of defense while skipper Jimmy Tau and Punch Masenamela will be operating on the right and left flanks respectively.
