Current Form

Marumo Gallants

The Gallants have endured a difficult start to 2026, suffering a 2-0 defeat to TS Galaxy in Polokwane last week. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa are winless in their last five league outings, recording three losses and two draws. Their standout moment this season came before the international break, when they reached the Carling Knockout final, ultimately losing to Orlando Pirates.

Currently 12th on the table with 15 points from 15 matches, Gallants will be desperate to create breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone.

Kaizer Chiefs

Chiefs resumed their league campaign with a 1-0 victory over Lamontville Golden Arrows on Tuesday, extending their strong domestic form. They followed that up with another 1-0 win against ZESCO United in the CAF Confederation Cup in Ndola, Zambia on Sunday.

AmaKhosi have not lost in the Premiership since their 3-1 defeat to Sekhukhune in September. Sitting third with 27 points from 14 games, the Glamour Boys have overtaken Sekhukhune and remain firmly in contention, aiming to close in on Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

What Was Said

After the ZESCO United triumph, co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef emphasized the importance of squad rotation given Chiefs’ demanding schedule:

“This month is so busy for us, every two or three days we have a game. We’ll play 11 games in 48 days, so we will need the whole squad. We have depth, which allows us to rotate and give players the rest they need.”

Players to Watch

• Marumo Gallants: Jaisen Clifford – The winger has been a dangerous option off the bench, leading his side’s scoring charts with three league goals. He’ll be eager to add a fourth.
• Kaizer Chiefs: Flávio Silva – The Portuguese forward has made an immediate impact, netting four goals in eight league appearances. After missing the Golden Arrows clash, he’ll be keen to return to the scoresheet.
