Kaizer Chiefs return from the international break needing to arrest a poor run of results, and their bogey side Stellenbosch is waiting. The league clash is on Tuesday, 13 October at 19:30.
A Run of Indifferent Results
Chiefs drew four of their last five matches before the break. The only win in that stretch was a 3-2 success over Siwelele. They now trail newly crowned MTN8 champions Mamelodi Sundowns by seven points, so they cannot afford many more slips if they want to stay in the title race before Christmas. Ex-Stellenbosch defender Thabo Moloisane is now in the Chiefs squad, adding some extra spice to the fixture.
The Trophy Question
Since 2014-15, Chiefs have just one piece of silverware: the 2025 Nedbank Cup final win over Orlando Pirates. The source argues that is not enough and that the club must mount credible title challenges year after year, or its work should be considered incomplete.
Injury Update
- Flavio Silva: Back in training.
- Khanyisa Mayo: Recovered from a hernia operation.
- Langelihle Phili: The 21-year-old winger is nearing a return after a serious ankle injury in late August, but he could be back only towards the end of October.
- Lebohang Maboe: His fitness remains a concern.
