'Scara' Thindwa offers his views on Chiefs' chances of winning the league marc_strydom
Chiefs have seen their lead cut from nine to four points in the past fortnight thanks to a 2-1 home defeat against Maritzburg United‚ and third-placed Orlando Pirates and second-placed defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns winning matches.
If Chiefs lose against their arch-foes‚ they will have their lead against Pirates cut to three points. They will remain four points ahead of Sundowns‚ but have played a game more. Thindwa said Chiefs – who do not possess the player quality in their squad at present of Pirates and Sundowns‚ and certainly cannot match Downs for trophy-clinching experience – can win the league‚ but need to steer clear of being under too much pressure at the top.
“They have lost a game or so – that should not happen because it gives Pirates and Sundowns a chance to catch up.“And it puts pressure on the young players who are playing at Chiefs‚ and you don’t want that.
