Kaizer Chiefs have seven points from a possible nine in the early stages of this Betway Premiership season. When do they play next?
Chiefs must wait for their trip to Richards Bay
Kaizer Chiefs are next in action on Wednesday, 26 August, with an away clash against Richards Bay at 19:30. The Glamour Boys are two points behind their tally at this equivalent stage last season, when they won their first three league encounters. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo’s future remains unclear after he was an unused substitute in the recent 1-1 draw with Sundowns.
Da Cruz must meet strict criteria at Chiefs
The ’ board will insist that Fernando Da Cruz elevates Chiefs to at least a runners-up spot during his tenure there. That would take them back into CAF competition and make them relevant on the continent again. Success in a cup competition will also be a priority. After MTN8 heartbreak, they’ve already lost one opportunity on that front. On the plus side, Chiefs remain unbeaten in the Betway Premiership. They’ve won matches against Kruger United and Sekhukhune, and held Sundowns to a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Seven points from a possible nine see Chiefs sit atop the embryonic table. Next up for the Glamour Boys is a trip to Richards Bay on 26 August. Let’s also remind ourselves that this team won its opening three league clashes last term.
