Kaizer Chiefs news

The Glamour Boys' supporters had anticipated seeing their team stage some of their CAF inter-club group assignments at the venue since it gives them another feeling. However, that might not be possible, at least not now, as the Soweto giants have explained why their games will be staged at the usual FNB Stadium.

The Glamour Boys are hoping to get their third successive win across all competitions after their initial struggles, especially in domestic matches, where they went five games in all tournaments without a win. It will be a tough outing against the Mswenko Boys, who are seemingly getting it right following their initial struggles in the South African top-tier.

After returning to winning ways, Amakhosi are keen to keep the run going since they must ensure they are not lagging far behind their title rivals. However, Monnapule Saleng's Orbit College, who have won their last two league games, are expected to give them a challenge. Amakhosi will be forced to make changes with one of their key players suspended.

The former Black Leopards star has established himself as Amakhosi's first-choice midfielder under co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef. His consistent displays have earned him three Man of the Match accolades. Therefore, Mthethwa's performances have become the main talking point in recent weeks.

The Soweto giants were drawn in Group D in the continental competition alongside two-time champions Zamalek SC, Al Masry, and ZESCO United. The draw took place on Monday afternoon in Randburg. A Chiefs official has reacted to the draw, indicating that they will be on a revenge mission.

It has been claimed that some players could be enjoying favourable treatment under the recently elevated coaches at Naturena. Amakhosi are also said to be not ready and are still far behind Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns football-wise.

Although they were denied a number of goal-scoring chances by the Bolivian goalkeeper, the African representatives were clinical and ensured they picked up maximum points from their opening game. The South Africans performed well despite playing for more than one hour with 10 men after one of them had been sent off late in the first half.

Orlando Pirates were eliminated from the annual top-tier competition on the continent. However, the Glamour Boys, the Brazilians, and Stellies are set to represent Mzansi in the ongoing CAF inter-club tournaments, hoping to go to the latter stages and probably win the crown despite the anticipated stiff competition from other teams.

Over the past few Premier Soccer League seasons, the Soweto giants have struggled to find a consistent and reliable figure between the posts. Goalkeeping has arguably been their second major weakness, right after the striking department. However, with just over ten league matches played, the 31-year-old has stepped up impressively. Although he insists that personal accolades and statistics are not his main focus at the moment.

The Glamour Boys are set for another Premier Soccer League test on Wednesday against the Mswenko Boys, who are seemingly getting their footing following a poor start to the ongoing edition. Co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are aware they can't keep dropping points if they are to finish inside the top positions.

After 11 rounds of games, the Premier Soccer League title race is still wide open, with the leading pack yet to separate themselves much from the chasing sides. Just four points are the difference between log leaders Masandawana and fifth-placed AmaZulu, who have played a game fewer than the reigning champions.

Latest reports suggest the South African Football Association has opted for a bold move: finalising the Teboho Mokoena yellow card blunder via internal ballot. The decision could have major implications for Tseka, whose oversight during the Lesotho qualifier remains under scrutiny.

The Brazilians have been miles ahead of their rivals in the Premier Soccer League [PSL] over the past eight seasons, leaving them chasing shadows. The Tshwane giants’ dominance started under the tutelage of Pitso “Jingles” Mosimane - the club’s most successful coach - who led them to five league titles.
