After resuming their Premier Soccer League campaign with a slim victory over Golden Arrows, Amakhosi turn their eyes on the continental competition. In two games in Group D, the Glamour Boys are third, and only a win away from home will help them boost their chances of reaching the knockout stage. However, the Zambian giants, although they are struggling this season, are expected to give them a challenge, especially since they will enjoy massive home support.

As Abafana Bes'thende's poor form continues, their head coach feels that they were robbed in their match against Amakhosi. The two PSL sides met in a rather high-stakes game, as each wanted a win to end their respective winless run in the league. Although the Soweto giants won, their victory has been questioned and the ex-Masandawana tactician said there is a need to introduce the refereering technology into the league.

After dropping four points from a possible six before the Premier Soccer League went on a break, Amakhosi resumed their campaign with a win. Although they were wasteful, especially in the first half, the win and a clean sheet are good enough to set a positive tone ahead of more crucial games coming up. Abafana Bes'thende returned home more worried as their winless run in the league extended to four games in a row.

After failing to collect maximum points in their last two games before the Premier Soccer League took a break in December, Amakhosi resume the campaign with some pressure on their shoulders. On paper, their game against Chippa United was expected to be an easy one given the Chilli Boys' poor form this season; however, the Soweto giants were forced to share points after a goalless draw. The Glamour Boys dropped more points when they were held to another goalless draw by TS Galaxy.

As Chiefs' Premier Soccer League rivals strengthen for the next phase of the campaign that is expected to be gruelling, Amakhosi are yet to sign any new player. In the pre-season transfer window, the Soweto giants signed a number of players to strengthen respective departments of their playing unit. However, weaknesses in their squad still remain, and the club has been urged to bring on board players that will help cover those gaps.
