Durban Finale: Kaizer Chiefs Chasing Decade-Best Milestone Against Desperate Chippa United
Kaizer Chiefs are looking to put the finishing touches on a highly encouraging 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign when they play host to Chippa United in their final league match of the season.
While the Glamour Boys have already mathematically locked down a third-place finish and a return to continental football, Saturday’s clash at the Moses Mabhida Stadium is far from a dead rubber.
Chasing a 10-Year High Point Record
With 54 points already banked from 29 outings, an Amakhosi victory in Durban would push them to a final tally of 57 points.
This wouldn’t just be a psychological victory—it would equal the club’s highest points haul since they last lifted the league title back in 2015 (matching the 57 points achieved during the agonizingly close 2019/20 campaign).
However, the mission will have to be completed without the services of star winger Glody Makabi Lilepo. The Congolese attacker turned from hero to villain last weekend, scoring the match-winning goal against AmaZulu FC before picking up a costly second yellow card that triggers an automatic suspension for the season finale.
High Stakes: Chippa United Fighting for Survival
While Chiefs are playing for milestones, the Chilli Boys are fighting for their top-flight lives. Chippa United arrive in Durban sitting 13th on the log with 25 points.
While they have successfully warded off automatic relegation, they are still dangerously within reach of the dreaded promotional-relegation playoffs. Newly appointed tactical mastermind Brandon Truter has been handed the reins this week with one simple directive: extract a result in Durban to guarantee absolute safety.
