Mngqithi's Golden Arrows Hunt Second League Double Over Vulnerable Kaizer Chiefs

Golden Arrows are gearing up to complete an impressive league double over Kaizer Chiefs as they prepare to host the Soweto giants at Moses Mabhida Stadium this Saturday at 3.30pm.

Abafana Besthende, fresh from their earlier triumphs over Chiefs, will be looking to replicate their 2021/22 feat, where they secured back-to-back wins in the league.

Under the tactical leadership of coaches Vusumuzi Vilakazi and Mabhuti Khenyeza, Golden Arrows pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory at FNB Stadium in the first round before completing the job with a dramatic 2-1 comeback at their home ground in KwaMashu. In their previous encounter back in January, Arrows managed to edge past Chiefs with a 1-0 win, thanks to a crucial goal from Gladwin Shitolo.

This time around, Arrows are brimming with confidence and eager to complete what would be their second double over Chiefs in the space of three years. Currently, sitting in 10th place on the log, Golden Arrows find themselves just five points behind eighth-placed Chiefs, with three games in hand. The race for a top-eight finish is heating up, and this weekends clash presents an opportunity for Arrows to close the gap and push for a higher position.

Despite the pressure, Arrows will hope to continue their solid form and build on the momentum they gathered before the international break. The hosts are also expected to arrive on the pitch with their chests puffed out, having beaten Amakhosi five out of the last seven times the two teams have met, with the Soweto giants looking as vulnerable as ever.
