Stellies Look to Reclaim Glory
Stellenbosch FC, the inaugural champions of the Carling Knockout Cup in 2023, will be looking to recapture that winning feeling. They’ll be drawing inspiration from their dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout victory against TS Galaxy in the final that year. However, their current league form is a concern, sitting in 14th place after a string of disappointing results. Coach Steve Barker has lamented his team's lack of cutting edge in the final third, highlighting a need for more belief and clinical finishing.
Amakhosi Aim to Fine-Tune Attack
Kaizer Chiefs are also experiencing a dip in form, with only one win in their last five Betway Premiership matches. Interim co-head coach Khalil Ben Youssef has identified the attacking department as an area needing improvement. He believes the team needs to be more ruthless in front of goal, converting chances and avoiding costly misses.
