Kaizer Chiefs v Stellenbosch kicks off at 19:30 SAST on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

Stellenbosch arrive on the back of an away win at Kruger United and sit three places and four points below Chiefs in the table, so a positive result at FNB Stadium would move them level on points with their hosts.

What is Kaizer Chiefs’ form heading into this match?

Chiefs are unbeaten in the league this season but have drawn their last four Betway Premiership matches in a row. After beating Siwelele 3-2 at FNB Stadium in early September, Nabi’s side took four consecutive draws: 2-2 away at Richards Bay, 1-1 away at Polokwane City, and 0-0 away at Golden Arrows in their last outing before the international break. As a result, Chiefs sit fourth on the table with 13 points from seven games, three wins and four draws without a defeat, a solid platform that still needs converting into wins if they are to close the gap on Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates at the top.

How have Stellenbosch been performing?

Stellenbosch go into the match on the back of a 1-0 away win at Kruger United, their first win in three league games. Before that result, Steve Barker’s side had drawn at home to Sekhukhune United and away at Durban City, and lost 1-0 away to Golden Arrows in late August. Overall Stellenbosch have taken nine points from seven matches this season, two wins, three draws and two losses, and sit seventh in the table, four points behind Chiefs. A win in Johannesburg would therefore be their biggest result of the campaign so far and would lift them above several sides in the standings. More on their season is on the Stellenbosch team hub.

What is the head-to-head record between Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch?

Stellenbosch won the most recent Betway Premiership meeting between the two clubs, beating Chiefs 2-1 at FNB Stadium in February 2026. That result snapped a longer run of Amakhosi dominance in the fixture, since Chiefs had won four of the five league meetings before it, including a 2-0 away win in August 2025 and a 1-0 home win in January 2025. Stellenbosch have also won in cup competition between the sides, beating Chiefs 2-1 in a February 2026 cup tie, though Chiefs still hold the wider historical edge in the rivalry. Because the reverse league fixture went Stellenbosch’s way, this return match carries extra weight for Chiefs as they look to avoid back-to-back league defeats to the same opponent.

What does the table picture look like for both sides?

Chiefs can move within a point of second-placed Orlando Pirates with a win, while Stellenbosch can climb into the top half of the table. Mamelodi Sundowns lead the Betway Premiership on 20 points, with Pirates second on 19 and AmaZulu FC third on 16. Chiefs’ 13 points leave them fourth, and a win over Stellenbosch would keep the pressure on the top three without closing the gap outright, since both Sundowns and Pirates are also in action this round. For Stellenbosch, three points would take them to 12, level with fifth-placed Milford FC and above Sekhukhune United on goal difference.
