Kaizer Chiefs news

The defending Premier Soccer League champions, Masandawana, are getting stiff competition from the Soweto giants, the Buccaneers, who have been consistent in their bid to win the South African top-flight football. The Brazilians have been dominating the top tier for almost a decade, where they have been crowned nine times.

The South African national team is just a few days away from departing for Morocco, where they will continue their preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations, kicking off on December 21. For a certain PSL right-back, who has earned a place in Hugo Broos’ 25-man squad, a new chapter begins. He will be aiming to see his career reach new heights while gaining valuable experience on the continental stage.

Three TS Galaxy vs Kaizer Chiefs predictions for their Betway Premiership clash on Sunday afternoon, including value on the match result bet.

The Soweto giants square off against Bahlabane ba Ntwa in the Carling Knockout final at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, aiming to end the season on a high after also being guaranteed to end the year as Premier Soccer League leaders. Having already lifted the MTN8 in October, the Buccaneers are chasing a second major trophy this term as they seek to continue as domestic football's Cup Kings.

South Africa find themselves in seemingly challenging Group B at the continental tournament alongside Egypt, Angola and Zimbabwe. Navigating through this pool will be crucial if they are to reach the knockout rounds. They are determined to improve on their previous campaign, where they secured a bronze medal. However, doubts have surfaced after an experienced coach questioned the squad selected by the Belgian tactician. That scrutiny has added extra pressure on the team to prove their capabilities on the big stage.

As we reach the halfway mark of another PSL season, old failings are emerging for the Glamour Boys as they struggle to find cohesion in the final third. Is this a recruitment problem, a tactical issue or perhaps a complex combination of both?

The Glamour Boys have had a strong run this season across all competitions after the signings they made at the end of the 2024/25 campaign. A win against TS Galaxy on Sunday will see them end the year with just two points behind leaders and traditional rivals Orlando Pirates, who have been doing quite well under Abdeslam Ouaddou. But a disappointing draw with Chippa has deflated fan expectations.

The Glamour Boys faced the Chilli Boys, hoping to get maximum points at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday night. However, it turned out to be a tough assignment against the relegation-threatened hosts who were not in the mood to lose. Amakhosi have now lost ground in their bid to win the title in the ongoing campaign.

The Premier Soccer League campaign is taking shape, and before the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals break, the favourites to win the race have been picked out. A PSL winner has tipped his former side as one of those with a high probability of conquering the league. However, the Soweto giants, despite their promising run so far, have been ruled out.

The Glamour Boys have been struggling to get it right when it comes to upgrading the squad and making it more consistent in competitions domestically and abroad. In the recent Premier Soccer League winter transfer window, they signed 11 players, a mixture of experience and youth, to push the Soweto giants to the summit of Mzansi football.

The Brazilians once again dropped points in the South African top-flight football in the midweek assignment that has guaranteed Orlando Pirates the top spot until the league resumes in January. The defending champions had to do without a key player in the last 10 minutes following the sending-off of Teboho Mokoena.

Amakhosi endured a frustrating evening as they were held to a goalless stalemate by bottom‑placed Chippa United at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Wednesday, December 3. Chiefs controlled large spells of possession and carved out chances but failed to convert, leaving them to settle for a single point in their Premier Soccer League away fixture.

The majority of the teams are working hard to realise their objectives, with the Premier Soccer League table taking shape ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) break scheduled from late December to mid-January next year. One of the sides that have been doing well are Babina Noko, who are surprising many with their run in the league.
