On Soccer Betting News, Sathekge argued that the Phfeni Glamour Boys aren’t actually in a freefall. The pundit said, “Chiefs is not that bad. They just need to regroup and the technical team need to start doing the right.
He added, “One thing I’m still worried about now is that the guys have not, Cederic and … Ben Youssef, they have not yet found their best fit starting eleven for Amakhosi!”
Despite being lower in the standings, Chiefs hold two games in hand over Durban City. A win tomorrow would effectively put them in the driver’s seat to leapfrog the visitors as the South African topflight approaches the business end.
Durban City arrives in Soweto with momentum, fresh off a gritty draw against a high-flying Sekhukhune United side. Kick off at the Calabash is set for 15h30 tomorrow afternoon.
