The Buccaneers have been tipped to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for this season's Premier Soccer League title. On Wednesday, the Soweto giants will be up against Abafana Bes'thende at the King Zwelithini Stadium, knowing that maximum points will send them second in the log and give players much-needed confidence.

The Glamour Boys were in devastating form as they claimed a huge win against the Mswenko Boys in their Premier Soccer League assignment staged at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday night. It was a third consecutive victory for the Soweto giants across all competitions after an initial five-match struggle domestically that saw them record no victories.

The 38-year-old is set to return to South Africa with the Algerian outfit The People's Club in the CAF inter-club competition after being paired with the Brazilians in Group C. The tactician is confident the North African team can defy the odds and get a positive result despite facing one of the most experienced teams in the competition.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions are working hard towards winning their second star in the CAF inter-club competition. In the 2024/25 edition, Masandawana reached the final but were unfortunate to fall against Egyptian outfit Pyramids, who had beaten Soweto giants Orlando Pirates in the semi-final.

The Glamour Boys' supporters had anticipated seeing their team stage some of their CAF inter-club group assignments at the venue since it gives them another feeling. However, that might not be possible, at least not now, as the Soweto giants have explained why their games will be staged at the usual FNB Stadium.

The Glamour Boys are hoping to get their third successive win across all competitions after their initial struggles, especially in domestic matches, where they went five games in all tournaments without a win. It will be a tough outing against the Mswenko Boys, who are seemingly getting it right following their initial struggles in the South African top-tier.

Orlando Pirates were eliminated from the annual top-tier competition on the continent. However, the Glamour Boys, the Brazilians, and Stellies are set to represent Mzansi in the ongoing CAF inter-club tournaments, hoping to go to the latter stages and probably win the crown despite the anticipated stiff competition from other teams.

The Glamour Boys are set for another Premier Soccer League test on Wednesday against the Mswenko Boys, who are seemingly getting their footing following a poor start to the ongoing edition. Co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are aware they can't keep dropping points if they are to finish inside the top positions.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been trending since Saturday following his excellent strike, a contender for the goal of the season award, against the Premier Soccer League champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. While the Moroccan tactician has been lauded for his rotation, others feel it might cost Bucs in the end.

Back in Premier Soccer League action, the KwaZulu-Natal outfit aimed to build on their strong cup form as they hosted Gallants in a challenging home fixture at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday evening. With momentum on their side, Arrows looked to keep their winning rhythm alive in front of their home fans.

The Sea Robbers have been ruthless this season in their bid to go all the way and win the crown. They have been consistent as opposed to their opponents and rivals, including the Soweto foes Amakhosi, who have struggled to replicate their fine form, which saw them beat all 15 teams to the annual title.

The Sea Robbers recovered from a goal down to share spoils in a 1-1 Premier Soccer League draw on Saturday afternoon at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Masandawana retained their position at the top of the table with 22 points from 11 outings, while the Soweto giants come third in the log with 19 point,s having played two games less.

The Glamour Boys needed a late header by Flavio Silva to end their five-match winless run in the South African domestic competitions, and four in the Premier Soccer League at the expense of Durban City, who, before the Friday game, were unbeaten at home. The result took the Soweto giants to third place on the table with 19 points.

The Soweto giants argue they were not fairly eliminated from the CAF inter-club competition by the Democratic Republic of Congo outfit last weekend. They have since protested the same to the football governing body on the continent, who have in turn demanded an explanation from the Cheminots within five days.

The teenager is among the talent that has risen out of the Glamour Boys Academy all the way to the senior team. The versatile attacker was also part of the Amajita team that won the U20 Africa Cup of Nations, as well as reached the U20 World Cup knockout rounds in Chile a couple of weeks ago.

The 61-year-old is set for a tough Premier Soccer League outing on the last day of October against the Glamour Boys, who are set to return to winning ways in the South African top-flight football. The Citizens are looking for their fifth win in the ongoing campaign as Amakhosi chase the top spots after failing to make the MTN8 competitions for two years in a row.

The Soweto giants have unveiled their third kit, which they are using in the ongoing campaign across all competitions. They used the new jersey in the midweek assignment against Dikwena Tsa Meetse in the domestic competition, where they did well to seal their semi-final ticket.

The two Moroccan heavyweights played against each other on Wednesday night at the Mohammed V Stadium in the top tier. Either side could have gone top of the table with maximum points, but chances went begging with both teams failing to get the ball in the back of the net.
