»Fans of the Kaizer Chiefs must radically change their expectations«
It is currently impossible to discern where the Kaizer Chiefs are headed, making it difficult to be a supporter of the team.
Two Amakhosi players who could be suspended for next Saturday’s match against Sundowns
A trip through any region of South Africa is likely to reveal an abundance of black and gold shirts. Kaizer Chiefs are enormous. However, their stature on the field no longer corresponds to their continent-wide appeal. The Chiefs may be the most decorated team in South African football, but they have not won a significant title in the last eight years. Especially if you’re a Glamour Boys supporter, the 2015 DStv Premiership championship feels like a lifetime ago.
The Kaizer Chiefs are the Manchester United of South Africa.
The Chiefs must focus on one game at a time.
Accept that Kaizer Chiefs will not fight for the DStv Premiership title this season or even for the following two. A top-two finish is conceivable, but it appears that even that is unlikely. They should be considered a nice surprise if they finish in the top two.
One BOLD prediction in our expected Amakhosi XI vs. AmaZulu matchup.
If the nucleus of Amakhosi’s excellent young players has remained intact, perhaps we can revisit this discussion in 2024-2025.
With both AmaZulu and Chiefs battling for consistency in 2022-23, tonight’s match between AmaZulu and Chiefs could be a turning point if either team wins. If the recent trend of draws continues, neither side will be overjoyed with a single point.
Tonight’s AmaZulu vs. Chiefs match begins at 19:30.
