PSL title is in Chiefs’ hands
You just got to love football – things can just change at an instant. After leading the log with more than 10 points a couple of weeks ago, Kaizer Chiefs are now four points ahead in this heated Absa Premiership title race where Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates are just waiting for Amakhosi to make another slip.

What makes matter worse is that Chiefs have some tricky fixtures ahead starting with the most anticipated Soweto derby against an in-form Orlando Pirates on February 29 at the FNB Stadium.
Not only will Pirates be a worrying fixture for Chiefs fans, but they also have to play Wits twice and Mamelodi Sundowns..Yo, ku rough!
But, again, having said all of that, the fact of the matter is, Chiefs are still on top of the standings leading their closest contenders for the Championship Sundowns who are on second place with four points.
What I’m saying is that, the League is Amakhosi’s to lose. All they have to do is to ensure that they win their remaining matches to ensure that they give their fans something to celebrate about at the end of the season.
Maybe they might drop points there and there with about 10 more games to play.
There is still a long way to go and Chiefs are not the only ones who might drop points, the likes of Sundowns and Pirates also have to be on top of their toes because their fixtures as well are not really easy. This is football, anything can still happen, ask those who are on soccer betting.
Pirates and Sundowns also have to play each other, so, yes, anyone can still drop points here. But, I still maintain, Chiefs will only lose this title race because of their own doings.
