Kaizer Chiefs enjoyed their 1-1 draw with Sundowns. However, this time it’s good news for arch-rivals Orlando Pirates.
Kaizer Chiefs have mixed feelings
After a 1-1 draw between Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns, Pirates know that convincing wins in their three remaining fixtures will likely secure the title. 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.
What’s next for Kaizer Chiefs?
Chiefs need five points to mathematically guarantee third place and CAF Confederation Cup qualification. Next up for the Glamour Boys is a trip to Sekhukhune on Sunday, 10 May. Kickoff is at 17:30.
Orlando Pirates and Arsenal aren’t so different after all
Like Premier League leaders Arsenal, Pirates haven’t tasted title glory in quite some time. 2011-12 was the Sea Robbers’ most recent league win, while the Gunners haven’t been English champions since 2004. This year could be a momentous one for both clubs, but there’s still work to be done.
