1) TO KEEP THEIR CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOPES ALIVE

Chiefs have to win their remaining matches in the DStv Premiership if they are to qualify for the CAF Champions League next season.

Meaning, Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard have to find a way to motivate their side to achieve the unthinkable – conquering The Brazilians! Defeating the side that has won the last FIVE PSL titles. There is no other option but a victory for Amakhosi at the FNB Stadium.

However, it is so much deeper than CAFCL football next season…

2) PRIDE AND RESPECT FOR THE CLUB AND AMAKHOSI SUPPORTERS

The pride and respect of Chiefs as a football club and their supporters are on the line too.

This is because they are desperate for a noteworthy win, to save some face and restore some dignity after a lacklustre season.

Royal AM completed the double over Chiefs. The Glamour Boys succumbed to a shocking record four losses in a row before winning 1-0 against Marumo Gallants last weekend, according to SoccerLaduma.

Amakhosi are desperate for a win that will allow Amakhosi supporters to hold their heads up high.

3) SOWETO DERBY PRIDE

Finally, the Soweto Giants want to finish above their arch rivals, Orlando Pirates. The Bucs are right on their tales and a loss against Sundowns will allow Pirates an opportunity to leapfrog Chiefs who sit on 42 points while Pirates have 40 after 27 matches each.

The Buccaneers will not be in action in the league this weekend as they face Al Ahli Tripoli in their CAF Confederation Cup semi-final on Sunday.

This is it, this is the game they have to win, the match that can place Zwane and Sheppards in high regard amongst Kaizer Motaung and Chiefs fans.

The match that will restore pride and respect while igniting their CAF Champions League fight back.

  8. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
