Both goalkeepers have been impressive so far in the season, making them prime candidates for the season-end award.

After elimination from both the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup, Amakhosi's focus is solely on the Premier Soccer League. Now they are set to resume league duties with a match against Stellies, who are in dire need of points to avoid a possible relegation dogfight. On the other hand, the Glamour Boys must win to keep their league title hopes alive.

The experienced star's performance is one of the reasons why Amakhosi have been solid at the back. However, his impressive run has been overshadowed by rumours surrounding his future, but now reports emerge that the club is keen to tie him down for a longer deal. Although the Glamour Boys exited two competitions in a span of days, the player has been a standout figure for the club.

For the first time in recent seasons, the Soweto giants look settled in the goalkeeping department, bringing a sense of calm at the back.

Khune picks his man: Chiefs player who 'stands a good chance of being with Bafana at World Cup'

Players from Amakhosi have found it increasingly difficult to break into the national team setup in recent years. Not a single player from the Soweto giants featured in the South Africa squad for the last two AFCON editions, underlining the widening gap between the club and their PSL rivals, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, who dominate Hugo Broos' side. That absence has raised concerns that performance standards at Amakhosi may have dipped compared to previous eras.

The Group D leaders face the White Knights at Suez Canal Authority Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt, without some key players.

The Amakhosi goalkeeping department seems to have stabilised together with the defence, making it difficult for opponents to breach the Soweto giants. That solidity at the back is expected to make the Glamour Boys strong, giving them a chance of winning at least a piece of silverware this 2025/26 season.

Thinking World Cup? Not now? Why Chiefs keeper is not concerned about Bafana slot despite impressive form

What is on the minds of most South African goalkeepers now is whether their performance will earn them Bafana Bafana slots for the World Cup finals. Amakhosi's goalkeeper has been sensational so far in the season, and Hugo Broos could be watching at a distance with some interest. Players from the Glamour Boys have been snubbed by the Belgian tactician at times, but maybe things could change in the near future when the next Bafana squad is named.
