This trip to Zambia shapes up as a must-win opener. The result could either revive Kaizer Chiefs’ hopes or deepen their uphill battle in the group.
After this weekend’s clash, the Soweto giants will host ZESCO United on 1 February in Durban, before welcoming Al Masry on 8 February in another high-stakes encounter.

The group stage then wraps up with a tough away trip to Zamalek on 15 February, a fixture that could ultimately decide qualification.
As it stands, Al Masry lead Group D with six points, followed by Zamalek on four. Kaizer Chiefs remain third on one point, while ZESCO United sit bottom with zero.
Amakhosi arrive in Zambia with a slight confidence boost after kicking off 2026 with a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows, sealed by an Aden McCarthy header.
That victory snapped a four-match winless run, which included a 2-1 CAF loss to Al Masry and draws against Zamalek (1-1), Chippa United (0-0) and TS Galaxy (0-0).
