Top-eight or bust for Chiefs in must-win Polokwane showdown

FOLLOWING a season underscored by frustration and under-achievement, a coveted MTN8 berth hangs precariously in the balance at a time when Kaizer Chiefs play their final Premiership match.

This afternoon (3pm start), there will be massive pressure on Chiefs as they host Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium. Their under-fire coach, Nasreddine Nabi, has acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead.

His team has a dismal record of just one win from their last 10 matches.

Currently languishing in ninth place, the Amakhosi are dangerously close to missing out on the top-eight competition for a second successive year. A win against Polokwane will push them to sixth place at best if other results go their way.
