Kaizer Chiefs are closing in on a CAF Confederation Cup place. Here’s all you need to know before their clash at Sekhukhune.
Kaizer Chiefs close in on third
After a 1-1 draw with Sundowns on Wednesday, Chiefs know that five more points will guarantee third place in the Betway Premiership this term. Next up is a trip to Sekhukhune on Sunday, 10 May, kickoff at 17:30. The match will air on DStv channel 202. Three points here would put them within touching distance of CAF Confederation Cup qualification. Midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu misses the match through suspension after his booking against Sundowns.
Chiefs do Orlando Pirates a favour
After a 1-1 draw between Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns, Pirates know that convincing wins in their three remaining fixtures will likely secure a first title since 2012. They trail Sundowns by three points, with a game in hand, but have a favourable goal difference of +41. Sundowns’ goal difference sits at +34. The Brazilians kick off first on Saturday against Siwelele, so Pirates could trail them by six points when their match with Magesi kicks off that evening. It’s going to the wire in 2025-26. We’ll certainly see what Pirates are made of if Sundowns manage to heap some scoreboard pressure onto the Sea Robbers this weekend.
