Kaizer Chiefs are on the verge of securing a CAF Confederation Cup place, needing just five more points to guarantee third place in the Betway Premiership after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns. Their next opportunity comes on Sunday, 10 May, when they travel to face Sekhukhune United with a 17:30 kickoff, broadcast live on DStv channel 202. Three points in that fixture would put Amakhosi within touching distance of continental qualification, though they will be without midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu after he picked up a suspension for his booking against Sundowns. The stakes are high as Chiefs look to finish the season strongly and secure a return to African competition.
The draw between Chiefs and Sundowns has also handed Orlando Pirates a significant advantage in the title race. Pirates trail Sundowns by three points but hold a game in hand and boast a far superior goal difference of +41 compared to Sundowns’ +34. If Sundowns slip up against Siwelele on Saturday, the Sea Robbers could close the gap dramatically when they face Magesi later that evening. The title race is going down to the wire, and scoreboard pressure will test Pirates’ resolve as they chase a first league crown since 2012.
This weekend’s fixtures promise to shape the final standings dramatically. While Chiefs aim to edge closer to continental football, the top of the table remains finely poised with Sundowns and Pirates both knowing that every result matters. The 2025-26 season is delivering a thrilling conclusion, and Sunday’s clash at Sekhukhune could prove pivotal for multiple parties in the Betway Premiership.
