IDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye has backed SuperSport United FC to maintain their unbeaten home run against Kaizer Chiefs this week. Khanye expressed a lack of trust in the current Amakhosi squad, suggesting Siwelele have a genuine chance in the upcoming Betway Premiership clash.
The former Kaizer Chiefs winger made his comments during a recent studio discussion. He pointed to the absence of a reliable natural striker and the injury to key player Phili as major factors undermining Chiefs' form. "I don't trust them [Chiefs] yet," Khanye said. He added, "I haven't been convinced. They don't have a natural striker that they believe in."
Why is Khanye skeptical of Kaizer Chiefs?
Khanye's analysis focuses on specific weaknesses in the Chiefs lineup. He noted the team lacks a player who can carry the attacking burden since Phili has been sidelined by injury. This, combined with a general lack of conviction in their forward options, leads him to question their consistency. His comments come despite Chiefs occupying fourth place in the league and remaining unbeaten so far this season. For Khanye, the underlying performances are more telling than the table position.
What is SuperSport United's recent form?
The task for SuperSport United is considerable given their own challenging start to the 2026/27 campaign. Gavin Hunt's side currently sits in 14th position on the standings after four matches. They have yet to record a victory, with two draws and two losses from their opening fixtures. One of those defeats was a 2-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs in the reverse fixture back in April. However, their home record against Chiefs offers a glimmer of hope, having played out a goalless draw in their last meeting at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

What does this mean for the upcoming match?
Khanye believes the occasion could motivate SuperSport United coach Lehlohonolo Seema and his players. "Seema tends to be motivated in games like this one," the analyst stated, seeing a scenario where Siwelele either win or draw. For SuperSport, securing a positive result would provide a massive boost to their early-season confidence and league position. The club will be looking to key players in their squad to step up and deliver in a high-pressure fixture. The match is scheduled for this Saturday at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.
