CAPE TOWN CITY FC HOSTS SOWETO GIANTS
Cape Town City FC is facing an exciting stretch of games to end 2024 and start the New Year including back-to-back games against Soweto giants.
AmaZulu FC, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are visiting the Mother City for Betway Premiership clashes against the Citizens – all in 11 days.
The three games could be crucial in shaping City’s season heading into the halfway mark of a campaign that has been a stop-start for the Cape Town side.
Cape Town City is currently 10th on the premiership log table, having won three and drawn two of its nine games.
CITY EYE USUTHU VICTORY
AmaZulu, currently 13th on the log, will be the first visitors to DHL Stadium in this hat trick of games during the festive period.
City haven’t beaten Amazulu since 2021 and have lost the last two against the KZN-based side.
Erick Tinkler’s team will be eager to ensure they deliver a long-awaited victory against Usuthu during the season of giving.
The 29 December match is scheduled for a 15:30 kick-off.
Tickets are available at Ticketpro from R60.
CITIZENS VS GLAMOUR BOYS
Cape Town City FC’s exciting stretch of home games continues with Kaizer Chiefs’ visit to the Mother City on Sunday 5 January 2025.
The two sides go into their clash both occupying mid-table and looking to move up.
A popular fixture on the Cape Town football calendar, a meeting between the Citizens and the Phefeni Glamour Boys is always a sold-out affair.
The last time the two teams faced each other was in March 2024, at a packed Athlone Stadium. However, the teams played to a goalless draw.
Recent history is on City’s side, with four victories in the last six meetings between the two sides since 2022.
Chiefs has only won one game and the other ended in a draw.
Matches between the two teams are always electric, and fiery and this clash will surely provide supporters at DHL Stadium with an exciting Sunday afternoon.
Kick for the game is set for 17:30
Tickets are available at Ticketpro from R100.
PIRATES IN THE CITY
When Orlando Pirates touchdown in the Mother City ahead of the league match on 8 January 2025, it will be their third visit to the city in eight months.
The results from those games have mostly favoured the Johannesburg-based team, which knocked City out of the MTN 8 earlier in the season.
The two sides have had contrasting fortunes this season with Pirates currently contending for the title and City battling to get into the top 8.
The Citizens will be looking to turn the tide against the Sea Robbers and get their first win against Pirates in almost two years.
The midweek games starts at 19:30.
Tickets are available through Ticketpro at R100
