Kaizer Chiefs will line up in next season’s CAF Champions league by finishing second in the PSL this season. That’s this prediction anyway.
Chiefs won their first league outing since the international break and will look to continue their good form. They beat the in-form Stellenbosch FC 2-1 this weekend to join Orlando Pirates and SuperSport on 40 points with seven games to go.

Our prediction: It won’t be easy or by many goals, but with the prize being so great there is an expectation that Chiefs will win this one.
Saturday, 8 April v Marumo Gallants (H) – 20:00
Our prediction: Gallants might have stopped the rot with a few draws, Chiefs will make it five wins in a row.
Sunday, 23 April v Sekhukhune United (A) – 17:30
Our prediction: Sekhukhune United are in poor form and Chiefs will be moving furiously towards the finishing line at this point. Another Chiefs win and the fans can start to enjoy the season once again.

Our prediction: Another side dwindling near the basement, it’s never a straight forward visit to face the Chili Boys. Perhaps the current squad will be playing for a place in the team next year with so many players rumoured to be arriving at Naturena. Regardless, it’s hard to see Chiefs losing this one.
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
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.
Quite staggering that even if Chiefs complete this dream run and Sundowns lose all remaining seven matches, the champions would still have more points.
