Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in an unfamiliar 13th position in the log after four games. They have lost three, with two games away and have only won once. On the other side Bloemfontein Celtic who are lying on 15th position have also had a shaky start but look to have turned the corner after winning the Macufe Cup and giving Santos a 5-0 drubbing in the first round of the Telkom Cup.
Kaizer Chiefs welcome back the services of tenacious midfielder, Tinashe Nengomasha who missed out the trip to Durban due to injury.
Chiefs had the better of Bloemfontein Celtic the last time the two sides met with Amakhosi emerging as 2-0 winners at Loftus Stadium.
In 18 games between the two clubs, Amakhosi have won twelve times losing only three times while they have shared spoils thrice since the inception of the Premier League in 1996.
