Marumo Gallants FC vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier Soccer League Predictions
The start of the 2024-25 South African PSL season is finally here, and in an action-packed weekend of football, we will see Marumo Gallants taking on Kaizer Chiefs at the Free State Stadium on Saturday evening. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa finished 11th in the National First Divison last season, while AmaKhosi ended 10th in the top flight. Let’s get into this opening week match prediction.
Marumo Gallants were relegated from the PSL when they finished bottom of the table in the 2022-23 season, and despite failing to earn automatic promotion last term, they are back in the top flight having bought Moroka Swallows over the summer.
Last season, Bahlabane Ba Ntwa posted a record of nine wins, nine draws and 12 losses in 30 NFD matches, scoring 30 goals while conceding 36 over the course of the campaign.
In their previous stint in the PSL, Gallants won just five of their 30 matches, and have failed to beat their upcoming opponents in their last four attempts, losing once and drawing the remaining three.
Meanwhile, the 2023-24 season proved to be a massive disappointment for Kaizer Chiefs, who ended the campaign trophyless and with only 36 points in 30 games, less than half the 73-point tally of league champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Glamour Boys managed a modest record of nine wins, nine draws and 12 losses in their 30 games, but ended the season winless in their final five games, drawing three and losing two.
Chiefs' major difficulties last term came on the road, where they won just three of their 15 away games and were winless in their last eight, failing to score in five of those matches.

Our Marumo Gallants FC vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction
While Kaizer Chiefs are showing up as the favourites here, they are coming off one of their worst seasons in recent history and will need to show major improvement before they can be backed with any real confidence.
This match will give us a better indication of what to expect from these two sides this term, but we feel that both will likely look to prioritise a clean sheet here, which could make this one a bit of a slow-burner. Our Marumo Gallants vs Kaizer Chiefs prediction: Under 2.5!
