Ahead of their Betway Premiership clash against Golden Arrows in Durban today, Nabi is confident that Amakhosi’s growing cohesion and upcoming reinforcements will lead to greater clinical efficiency.

Chiefs head into the weekend buoyed by a strong performance in their 1-1 draw against reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Wednesday.

It was their most fluid and confident display under Nabi’s leadership, with the Soweto giants dictating large parts of the contest and forcing Sundowns onto the back foot. But despite the dominance, their continued failure to convert pressure into goals remains a lingering concern.

The Glamour Boys had started the season brightly, winning their first three league fixtures with narrow scorelines of 2-0, 1-0, and 1-0, but the lack of goal-scoring flair has been a consistent talking point.

Even in their 2-0 win over Stellenbosch, one goal came from the penalty spot.

Returning to the touchline for the first time since compassionate leave,

Nabi was candid in his post-match assessment, acknowledging the attacking shortfall but refusing to panic.
