Nedbank Cup: Stellenbosch vs Chiefs Preview - Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

GOAL gives you the details to follow Amakhosi's trip to the Mother City to face the Cape Winelands outfit in this knockout game on Wednesday.

They will be at Cape Town Stadium to face their wounded opponents.

Gallants vs Chiefs Preview, Kick-off time & Squad news

As the season gathers momentum after a brief break owing to the Africa Cup of Nations finals, Amakhosi will be in league action again just days after facing ZESCO United. The CAF Confederation Cup result against the struggling Zambian giants saw the Glamour Boys register back-to-back wins across competitions. Against Gallants, they face a side that last registered a league win in mid-October last year.

Chiefs' predicted XI to face Gallants: Will Amakhosi coaches try a three-pronged attack of Lilepo, Mayo & Da Silva?

The Soweto giants have enjoyed an encouraging start to 2026 and would want to maintain their form when they visit Bahlabane ba Ntwa for Wednesday's Premier Soccer League clash at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium. Having recorded slim 1-0 wins in their last two games against Golden Arrows and ZESCO United, Amakhosi might want to see improvement upfront, and three forwards could start.

Predicting Chiefs' XI to Zesco - Is Diski Challenge keeper set to make his debut?

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.

Chiefs 1-0 Arrows: 'Pirates and Downs are shaking, but Amakhosi should sign Nwabali & extend Ben Youssef's deal'

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.

Predicting Chiefs' XI to face Arrows - Chislett and Shinga set to start for Amakhosi?

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.

Should Chiefs sign another striker? Concerns raised over Da Silva, wide options & defence

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.

Chiefs co-coach hits back at critics

Amakhosi closed out 2025 on a frustrating note after failing to win their last four games, both domestically and on the continent. That slump saw them miss a golden chance to climb to second place on the PSL table, and they now head into the AFCON break sitting fourth. That means they return in 2026 with significant pressure to revive their form and stay in the league title race.

GOAL gives you the details to follow Amakhosi's Premier Soccer League trip to Gqeberha to face the Chilli Boys on Wednesday. Currently fifth on the table, the Soweto giants still have the chance to finish the year at the top of the table if they win their last two PSL games, but that is also dependent on how their nearest rivals perform. They come up against the relegation-haunted Chilli Boys, who are at the foot of the standings.

Predicting Chiefs' XI to face Chippa - Chislett and Shinga to make long-awaited Amakhosi debut?

After a gruelling start to the CAF Confederation Cup group stage campaign, Amakhosi return to undertake their Premier Soccer League duties. At the top of their agenda is to win both games before the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) break in order to keep their winning run in the league going. Should the Glamour Boys manage to collect maximum points from the two games ahead, they will go level with Orlando Pirates point-wise.

Ex-Chiefs player Disco comments on Chiefs' Caf Confed group stage performance

The Glamour Boys are yet to find convincing results in their CAF Confederations Cup group campaign. They opened their account with a 2–1 defeat to Al Masry in Egypt, before managing only a single point in their home fixture against Zamalek on Saturday — a match in which they had hoped to capitalise on home advantage. Interestingly, in both encounters, Chiefs’ only moments of real threat came from an unexpected source, with right-back Dillan Solomons popping up as the unlikely goal contributor.
