Kaizer Chiefs are experiencing yet another forgettable 2023/2024 season thanks in many ways to the Soweto giants’ struggles in front of goal.

Amakhosi have found the back of the net on only 25 occasions in 28 DStv Premiership matches to date this season.

Only six teams in the 16-team league have scored fewer goals.

That number is also just over HALF the number of goals scored by champions Mamelodi Sundowns (48 goals).

The Glamour Boys are currently eighth in the DStv Premiership and are desperately clinging onto the final MTN8 spot.

Leading scorer

But who has been responsible for Kaizer Chiefs’ league goals?

As the time of publishing, Christian Saile, Pule Mmodi, Ashley du Preez and Ranga Chivaviro with four goals apiece are the Soweto giants’ joint leading scorers.

Edson Castillo has chipped in with three goals this league campaign.

Last season’s Golden Boot

Mamelodi Sundowns‘ Namibian star Peter Shalulile and Cape Town City FC’s Khanyiso Mayo proved last season to be the deadliest DStv Premiership strikers in the country with 12 goals apiece.

No will break – or come even close – to the all-time PSL record of 25 goals held by Zambia’s Collins Mbesuma while playing for Kaizer Chiefs in the 2004/05 season.
