Kaizer Chiefs have just three games to go but finishing second in the PSL now seems unlikely.

It would make more sense for Kaizer Chiefs to be mentioned in the race for third … they might’ve beaten Chippa United thanks to Ashley du Preez’s lone goal but they are still off the pace.

Having played a game more than Pirates, the Glamour Boys are still one point back of their Soweto rivals. And don’t forget they are three back of SuperSport United, who also have played 27 games.

And if you consider the wobbly form under Arthur Zwane, then the match against SuperSport on 13 May is another one to watch with one-eye open as an Amakhosi fan.

PSL PREDICTION: KAIZER CHIEFS TO END WITH 51 POINTS

Tuesday, 2 May v Swallows (H) – 19:30

Our prediction: Swallows are another team likely to be needing points to stay out of relegation. Just three games to go now in the league but Kaizer Chiefs are at home. Big win coming.

Saturday, 13 May v SuperSport United (A) – 15:00

Our prediction: The toughest and most important fixture in Chiefs’ quest to finish second. If Amakhosi have beaten the struggling teams to this point, it is likely they will start this match ahead of SuperSport. They could set up ultra-defensively and then make a play to score on the counter attack. A draw is the most reasonable result.

Saturday, 20 May v Cape Town City FC (H) – 15:00

Our prediction: City are another team in form but just imagine if Chiefs know that a victory will book second place. The last day of league action will be manic but there could be a win for the home team.
