After a brilliant start to the season, which saw Amakhosi win four of their first five Premier Soccer League matches, it appears things are now taking a turn for the worse at Naturena. Chiefs started the current campaign on a high note, with some even dreaming of a potential title charge, but that now looks like a tall order for Amakhosi.

Their form has deteriorated, and the instability in the technical area, with the suspension of coach Nasreddine Nabi, has not helped the situation.

Chiefs’ fortunes seemingly changed when they suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to log leaders Sekhukhune United last month, and now, the Glamour Boys have been dumped out of the Carling Knockout.

A defeat at the hands of Stellenbosch FC away from home meant that Amakhosi now have one less trophy to fight for, leaving them with just the league, the CAF Confederation Cup and the Nedbank Cup to contest.

Here, GOAL looks at how Chiefs risk enduring another disappointing season if their recent performances are anything to go by.
