Kaizer Chiefs Told Why They Can Win Betway Premiership After Performance Against Mamelodi Sundowns

• Kaizer Chiefs are unbeaten after three Betway Premiership games, including a draw against Mamelodi Sundowns
• The Soweto giants are currently one of the best teams in the league so far this season alongside Orlando Pirates
• A football analyst told Briefly News exclusively why the Glamour Boys have a genuine title shot this season

Kaizer Chiefs have made an encouraging start to the 2026-27 Betway Premiership campaign, collecting seven points from their opening three matches without tasting defeat.

Their most recent outing saw them hold reigning African champions Mamelodi Sundowns to a 1-1 draw, a result that has drawn attention from analysts assessing the Glamour Boys' title credentials this term.

Analyst backs Kaizer Chiefs for title charge

Football analyst Uche Anuma told Briefly News in an exclusive interview that the Soweto giants can go all the way in the Betway Premiership, provided they draw the right lessons from last campaign.

"Kaizer Chiefs have impressed me so far, but it's too early to judge, bearing the fact it happened like this last season," Anuma said.

He added: "They can win the league this season because they should've learnt from what happened last campaign and improve on that and not let history repeat itself."

Early form raises expectations

The point earned against Sundowns carries particular weight given the Tshwane side's dominance in South African domestic football in recent years.

For Chiefs to stay level with them and remain unbeaten through three rounds indicates a degree of tactical organisation and squad readiness that supporters will find encouraging.

However, Anuma's reference to last season serves as a reminder that a bright start alone is not sufficient. Chiefs have previously shown promise early in campaigns only to falter as the season progressed, making consistency the defining test of whether this squad can sustain a genuine title challenge over the full course of the Betway Premiership.
