Chiefs Under Pressure! Can Golden Arrows End Their Unbeaten Run?
Durban – Golden Arrows are fired up and ready to challenge Kaizer Chiefs' unbeaten start to the Betway Premiership! Abafana Bes'thende host Amakhosi at the Moses Mabhida Stadium this Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 5:30 PM CAT. Can Arrows pull off an upset?
Arrows Aim to Capitalize on Chiefs' Injury Woes
Arrows are riding high on a three-match unbeaten streak, boosted by their recent 2-1 victory over Magesi FC. Coach Manqoba Mngqithi believes his players are highly motivated, especially after that win. "Going into the Chiefs game, I don’t think it’s up to me to motivate them," Mngqithi stated. He does, however, acknowledge the need to manage potential anxiety stemming from the high stakes.
Chiefs Face Injury Concerns
Kaizer Chiefs, while still unbeaten, saw their perfect start to the season halted by a 0-0 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns. Adding to their challenges, Chiefs are grappling with several injuries. Bruce Bvuma, Given Msimango, and Rushwin Dortley are sidelined, and Nkanyiso Shinga missed the Sundowns game due to illness. This could give Arrows a significant advantage.
