Kaizer Chiefs Still Have A Slim Shot At The Absa Premiership Title

With seven games left to play, Kaizer Chiefs' hopes of lifting the Absa Premiership trophy are hanging by a thread, although it's not mathematically impossible just yet.   Take a look at Chiefs' fixtures - and previous results - in the gallery above   Steve Komphela hasn't managed to win any silverware since joining the Glamour Boys in 2015, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, the 50-year-old will be eager to try and finish on the biggest possible high.   Read: Bafana Striker Suspended By His Own Club   Chiefs are currently eight points behind the current league leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns, and four points behind their local rivals, Orlando Pirates, but given the inconsistency of the league this season, that gap could potentially be closed. The teams will need to drop points if Chiefs is to edge them in the run up to the end of the season.   This weekend Komphela's ranks come up against AmaZulu as they look to follow up their Nedbank Cup win over Stellenbosch FC, before league games against Free State Stars, Chippa United and Platinum Stars. If they aim to regain a spot as a title contender, those games are must-win.
