Kaizer Chiefs Form – Six Clean Sheets in Last Seven

Chiefs have lost just two of their last 16 matches in all competitions. They have seven points from four matches in Group D of the CAF Confederations Cup.

After two draws before the AFCON hiatus, they beat Golden Arrows 1-0 at home after the league resumed. A 1-0 win followed away at Zesco United in Zambia.

Chiefs beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 in the PSL and Zesco United 1-0 at home in a CAF clash. On Wednesday, they lost 2-1 away to Stellenbosch to exit the Nedbank Cup in the round of 32.

One Win in Seven – Al Masry Out of Sorts

They lost in the Egypt Cup on penalties after a 0-0 draw vs ZED. They drew 0-0 away at Zamalek in a CAF clash before beating Ceramica Cleopatra 3-2 in the league.

A damaging 2-1 home loss to Zamalek in the CAF Confederations Cup came next. On Wednesday, they drew 1-1 at ZED in the league to drop down to sixth place in the table.
