Predicting Chiefs XI vs Stellies: Baartman for Mdu as Amakhosi prepare for Soweto derby?

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.

Veteran coach draws comparisons between Vilakazi and Messi, lashes out at Chiefs coaches

The 20-year-old was one of the standout performers for the South Africa national U20 football team at the 2025 edition of the age-group global tournament. His displays raised hopes that he could return to Amakhosi and become a regular as the Soweto giants chase their season ambitions. However, he has found it difficult to cement a consistent place in the starting line-up.

The Glamour Boys host the Green Eagles in South Africa, aware that a win will give them a massive chance to make the knockout phase. The Soweto giants have won four out of the last five games across all competitions, and will be aiming at making it three in a row in Group D of the annual CAF inter-club competition.

Predicting Chiefs' XI to face Stellies - Key players rested for crucial clash with Baartman & Mabaso starting?

The Soweto giants set the ball rolling in their quest to defend the most prestigious knockout competition in South African football. They come up against the Cape Winelands side, who booted them out of the Carling Knockout in October 2025 and would want to avoid another upset at the hands of the same opponents when the two teams meet on Wednesday.

With a slot in the quarter-finals looking possible, it means Amakhosi will deal with a more congested calendar going forward. The Glamour Boys are also firmly in the Premier Soccer League title race, meaning their focus is divided as the season hits a crucial stage. The Nedbank Cup campaign also awaits the Soweto giants later, and it is a competition they will not want to lose, but can they withstand the pressure that comes with congested fixtures?

The Sea Robbers did everything within their power on Saturday evening at the Orlando Armstel Arena to silence Dikwena Tsa Meetse in the South African top-tier outing. It was a massive victory that saw the Buccaneers overtake traditional rivals the Glamour Boys on the table. Abdeslam Ouaddou's men are now on 32 points, the same as log leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns, who have played a game more.

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.

The two Amakhosi players have been under stern scrutiny for struggling to show up for some games in big moments when it matters the most for the Soweto giants. But they appear to have little backing from their representative who, however, has been seen fighting in the corner of a Buccaneers star who has been finding it difficult at the ongoing AFCON tournament.

The Amakhosi youngster has been previously compared to Premier Soccer League legend Themba Zwane as well as Thembinkosi Lorch. Although he is tipped to become a key player for the Soweto giants, being played out of his natural position has been cited as impeding his development. Despite competition from more experienced rivals, he has been able to become a regular starter.

With key players unavailable as they are focused on the Africa Cup of Nations, Ouaddou is expected to give playtime to other stars.

After winning the Carling Knockout, the Bucs might win another trophy on Saturday, although it is not an official cup.

The Naturena-based outfit has, over the past few seasons, struggled to fully demonstrate its big club status in the Premier Soccer League, consistently falling short and finishing the campaign outside the top eight. However, despite their struggles last season, they managed to break their long-standing trophy drought by being crowned champions of the Nedbank Cup, a moment widely viewed as the start of new beginnings. That success appears to have carried into the 2025/26 season, with the club opening the campaign on a high note and delivering performances strong enough to position themselves among the recognised league title chasers.

With two games before the Premier Soccer League takes a break, Amakhosi had a chance to go level with Orlando Pirates. They were held by Chippa United, and the second attempt was to beat TS Galaxy and go level with Mamelodi Sundowns, but they have also squandered that chance. Although Galaxy were reduced, the Glamour Boys failed to take advantage, as they were frustrated at Mbombela Stadium.

Chiefs denied chance to level with Sundowns after being frustrated by 10-man Galaxy

Amakhosi arrived at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday, December 7, determined to rediscover their winning touch after a midweek stalemate against Chippa United away in Gqeberha that left them frustrated. The Soweto giants sought momentum, while the Rockets looked to harness their home ground advantage to climb the league standings in front of their supporters.

Predicting Chiefs' XI to face Galaxy - Goalscoring winger Baartman to make surprise start?

Amakhosi have another chance to close in on Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates in the league standings. After being held to a goalless draw by Chippa United, the Glamour Boys will be looking to return to winning ways. Chiefs are on a three-match winless run across competitions, given their last victory came against Orbit College in early November.
