Mochudi Centre Chiefs will be looking to kick-start their FNB Premiership title campaign when they face ambitious Tonota FC in the GU Stadium this evening at 7pm.

The two side will be entering the second weekend of the season carrying contrasting expectations.

The early standings already reflect that contrast. Tonota sit fifth on three points, whilst Chiefs are 11th without a point. Whilst it is still too early for the table to carry much weight, another slip for Chiefs would leave them playing catch-up, whilst a second victory would strengthen Tonota's impressive start.

For Chiefs, the immediate task is to prevent one defeat from becoming a difficult opening to the campaign.
