The pressure is on Coach Molefi Ntseki and his side to produce a positive result to appease their fan base and climb up the log.
STAKES ARE HIGH FOR COACH MOLEFI NTSEKI
The recent unsatisfactory start to the season, with only eight points out of a possible 21 being collected by Amakhosi, has left supporters expressing their unhappiness.
This match against Sekhukhune United presents an opportunity for Kaizer Chiefs to turn things around and regain their form.
A positive result in this match would provide some much-needed relief for Ntseki and could buy him more time to implement his strategies and improve the team’s performance.
It would also help to restore confidence among the fans and stakeholders, showing that there is potential for a successful season ahead.
On the other hand, a negative result or another underwhelming performance could intensify the scrutiny on Ntseki and potentially put his position at risk.
The management and supporters may question his ability to lead the team and make the necessary changes needed for improvement.
