Kaizer Chiefs have an almighty battle on their hands to finish inside the top eight. Next up is a massive battle with Golden Arrows.
Chiefs are dropping points at regular intervals
Kaizer Chiefs dominated possession and mustered 17 shots at the Cape Town City goal but failed to get on the score sheet. Mduduzi Shabalala missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the 42nd minute but, in truth, Chiefs didn’t create much else of value. In their following match, they fell to a dreadful 2-0 defeat at Richards Bay. It was a result that left them in eighth place in the Betway Premiership with 29 points after 22 games. Ninth-placed Chippa can usurp Chiefs for that position if they win their two games in hand. Meanwhile, Golden Arrows in tenth have three games in hand on Amakhosi and only trail them by five points. It’s not unthinkable to suggest that Arrows could leapfrog their more illustrious rivals by the end of 2024-2025. Knox Mutizwa was the only goal-scorer as Arrows claimed a slender 1-0 win away to Polokwane but they followed that with a 1-0 loss at Magesi. Intriguingly, Abafana Bes’thende hosts Chiefs on March 30th at 15:30. That looks like a pivotal clash in the race for a top-eight finish.
Saleng to Kaizer Chiefs?
Freddie Hiney believes Monnapule Saleng will do the unthinkable and make the switch from Orlando Pirates to Chiefs. Sounds farfetched.
RUMOUR RATING: 0/10. Chiefs will win the Betway Premiership before this happens.
Will Arrows compound Chiefs’ misery on March 30th?
