Do-or-die: Chiefs’ top-eight hopes hang by a thread

KAIZER Chiefs' inconsistent showing this season has placed them in a situation where every game is a must-win encounter, as they face the danger of missing out on the top eight in back-to-back seasons.

Amakhosi are currently eighth on the Premiership log, and they have a date with TS Galaxy on Saturday at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane (7pm kick-off).

The last encounter between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, as goals from Samukele Kabini and out-of-favour striker Ranga Chivaviro ensured the sides shared the spoils last December at the Mbombela Stadium.

Fresh off a crushing 2-1 loss against Golden Arrows at the Moses Mabhida Stadium last Saturday, Amakhosi's season has taken a turn for the worst.

And with only seven matches still left, coach Nasreddine Nabi needs to find quick solutions as the campaign lies solely on his side winning the rest of their matches to guarantee a place in the MTN8 competition next season.
