Chiefs and Pirates players in danger of missing Soweto Derby clash

Before the clash between the traditional rivals, some Bucs and Amakhosi stars are walking on eggshells as they are one booking away from suspension. Should any of them get suspended, they will present their technical bench with a selection headache in a game that each side cannot afford to lose.

After back-to-back victories, Amakhosi return to action on Monday hoping to get one more win. This will be their first engagement after the international break, and their fans hope the players are in good form to continue with the good run.

Why is Vilakazi not starting matches for Chiefs? Kaze explains youngster's role

The Amajita attacker has been influential for the Soweto giants despite coming into matches from the bench. The winger played a crucial role last weekend as the Glamour Boys made it two wins in a row in South African top-flight football to continue their push for the CAF inter-club ticket in the 2026/27 season.

Vilakazi urged to toughen up as Chiefs map out starting role

Chiefs rising star Vilakazi has been told exactly what he needs to do to become a permanent fixture in the starting line-up at Naturena. Despite his growing influence on the pitch, the Amakhosi technical team believes there is still another level for the youngster to reach through physical development.

Kaze: Chiefs can only get better

The Amakhosi co-coach is adamant that his team is on an upward trajectory following their clinical 2-0 victory over Magesi FC on Saturday night. Goals from youngsters Wandile Duba and Mfundo Vilakazi ensured the Soweto giants secured back-to-back wins, moving them up to fourth in the Premier Soccer League standings. Despite the positive result, Kaze insists there is still plenty of room for improvement as the club chases a top-three finish.

Chiefs 2-0 Magesi: 'Amakhosi will take MTN8 from Pirates! Glamour Boys frustrate me'

In recent weeks, Amakhosi were under immense pressure following elimination from two competitions and a four-match losing run. Bowing out of the CAF Confederation Cup and the Nedbank Cup, plus Premier Soccer League losses, shattered their ambitions to end the season with at least one piece of silverware. While their chances of claiming a PSL title are slim, what is certainly reachable is a top-three finish.

What is happening? Ex-Pirates star questions Vilakazi's reduced playtime at Chiefs

The playmaker has had limited involvement for the Soweto giants in recent games. Even though he did not start against Durban City, the Bafana Bafana star came on as a second substitute and played a crucial role in Amakhosi's victory. Now, a question has been asked why the attacking midfielder has been dropped from the starting XI in recent games.

Predicted XI Chiefs vs Durban City: Miguel or Msimango for unavailable McCarthy?

The Glamour Boys are under incredible pressure to turn the tide after four consecutive losses. Against the Premier Soccer League debutants, they enjoy a home advantage, but playing in front of their fans will put them under more pressure. Another loss, or even a draw, will only act to jeopardise their position, with more ground ceded in the league's title race.

Ex-Chiefs coach reveals all - 'I was told which players to buy, who to select, and how to set up tactically'

With Amakhosi's recent slump in form, there has been a lot of noise surrounding the club, its players, coaches, and fans. And now, adding to the chorus of advice and criticism comes Stuart Baxter, who had two stints in the hot seat. The first was a trophy-filled success, but the second spell was an ill-fated one, and he left before the 2021/22 season was finished.

Chiefs insist rumours around Mdu & Vilakazi exclusions are 'fabricated, totally dishonest'

The situation at the Glamour Boys has been unbearable for the fans owing to the four straight losses across all competitions. Some of the key players have been missing in action, with reports indicating that the technical team, led by co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, omitted them from recent assignments owing to breach of contract.

Agent dismisses Vilakazi & Shabalala 'ill discipline' rumours - 'These young players are hurting'

The talented duo was missing on Saturday as the Glamour Boys were humbled by the Soweto giants in the South African top-tier assignment. The victory for the visitors widened the gap between the two teams to 11 points, further underlining their ambition of going all the way and beating Mamelodi Sundowns to the crown.

Predicting Chiefs' XI vs Richards Bay: Ntwari, Msimango & Mdu in?

The Glamour Boys are enduring their worst run of form this season, having suffered three defeats in a row across all competitions. The Soweto giants hope to bounce back against the Natal Rich Boyz on Tuesday at the uMhlathuze Stadium. This will surely be a defining moment for co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.

A big mistake? Why Mdu was snubbed for 'technical decision' in Soweto Derby loss

The Glamour Boys failed to turn up for the party at the FNB Stadium as their traditional rivals, the Buccaneers, literally walked on them. The technical team made some big calls on the material day that didn't work as anticipated from the first to the final whistle. The hosts could have easily got a hiding, but their opponents missed some big chances.

Predicting Chiefs' starting XI: Chislett or Shabalala for Soweto derby?

Amakhosi are gearing up for a blockbuster encounter against their traditional rivals, the Sea Robbers. After a recent loss to Stellenbosch, the Glamour Boys are under immense pressure to get back to winning ways.
