Kaizer Chiefs return to the MTN8 this weekend as they welcome Golden Arrows to the FNB Stadium in a quarter-final clash on Sunday evening.
Fernando da Cruz’s men are determined to end their long wait for MTN8 success after missing out on the competition last season. Amakhosi last lifted the trophy in 2014 under Stuart Baxter, defeating Orlando Pirates in the final.
Since then, the club has won just one major domestic cup in 12 years, highlighting their prolonged trophy drought.
After an encouraging start to the Betway Premiership campaign, belief is growing that Chiefs could finally challenge for silverware this season.
When do Kaizer Chiefs play Golden Arrows?
Kaizer Chiefs take on Golden Arrows on Sunday at 18:00 at the FNB Stadium. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport PSL (Channel 202).
Victory would book Amakhosi a place in the MTN8 semi-finals, while defeat would once again increase the pressure on Da Cruz and raise fresh questions about the club’s ability to compete for trophies.
By the time Chiefs kick off, they will already know the outcomes of the other MTN8 quarter-finals involving rivals Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.
Any slip-up by either of those title contenders could provide extra motivation for the Glamour Boys as they look to seize the opportunity and finally end their long wait for MTN8 glory.
Kaizer Chiefs are favourites heading into the Arrows game but given their form in the competition in the last decade, it won’t be a major shock if the Glamour Boys bow out of the competition early.
