Having won two and lost two of their four opening matches, Kaizer Chiefs' next encounter is an important one in rating the effectiveness of need head coach Nasreddine Nabi's methods so far.

So far, they have won two and lost two of of their first four.

Nabi's men opened the season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Marumo Gallants in mid-September, followed by a 3-1 scalping of AmaZulu FC, although some sections of the football community were not convinced as they only saw 43% of ball possession and the opposition twice struck the post.
Ironically, the Soweto giants' most convincing performance came in defeat, as they would lose 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns.
In that encounter, they landed six shots on target, two more than the Chloorkop-based outfit, who were more lethal in front of goal.
Next, the men in Gold and Black faced SuperSport United, a side they had already hammered 4-0 in the Last 16 of the Carling Knockout.
In the league fixture, however, they faced similar demons to those faced against Sundowns - inability to make use of chances.

They made 13 attempts at goal, but only three found the target and none ended up in the back of the net as Matsatsantsa walked away 1-0 winners.
Such has been the story of Amakhosi this season: inconsistency, hot and cold moments, and missed opportunities.
The two wins and two losses make the match against Magesi somewhat of a decider.
In Clinton Larsen's side, Nabi and Chiefs have a chance to write a different narrative.
A win will spell a successful start to the season, while a defeat could raise alarm bells.
It also does not help Nabi that rivals Orlando Pirates have extended their lead at the top of the Betway Premiership with six wins from six fixtures.
Importantly, a victory on Wednesday Magesi could elevate them up to sixth on the table, just two points behind second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who suffered a shock defeat to Polokwane City.
