After two wins on the bounce, Chiefs are certainly headed in the right direction. Their efficient 2-0 win at Stellenbosch, with the two goals coming from just three shots on target, takes them up to 5th in the table. They’ve also kept consecutive clean sheets for the first time this season. The tests don’t come much more daunting than a clash with Sundowns, though, so that’ll be a massive acid test of how far this Chiefs side has come.
Chiefs face Sundowns on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the first-leg of a crunch MTN8 semi-final. Mmodi is firing on all cylinders and will undoubtedly be key to his side’s chances.
