Recent performances have seen Chiefs suffer consecutive defeats, with a narrow 1-0 loss to Angolan side Kabuscorp in their continental opener on Saturday, following a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Sekhukhune United in the league last Wednesday.

The weekend setback poses a significant challenge to Chiefs’ ambi-

tions in the CAF Confederation Cup, marking a historic low for the club as it was their first loss to an Angolan team in any continental tournament.

Before heading to Angola, the Glamour Boys enjoyed a five-match unbeaten streak in the Betway Premiership, but they now find themselves under pressure.
