Kaizer Chiefs News, Fixtures and Predictions: Unbeaten in Seven, Fourth on the Log

Kaizer Chiefs, checked 23 September 2026. Chiefs are fourth in the Betway Premiership on 13 points from 7 games, and they are the only side in the league besides Orlando Pirates who have not lost. The record reads 3 wins and 4 draws. Their last outing was a 0-0 draw away at Golden Arrows on Sunday 20 September. League football is now paused for the FIFA international break, so the next Chiefs fixture is at home to Stellenbosch on Saturday 17 October at FNB Stadium, and the Soweto Derby away at Orlando Pirates follows on Saturday 31 October.

Fixtures, dates and venues confirmed against both the SuperSport Betway Premiership fixture list and the ESPN South African Premiership feed on 23 September 2026. Kick-off times follow the SuperSport listing. Times this far ahead of the international break do move for broadcast, so treat them as scheduled rather than final.

Why two of those three are close calls

Chiefs at home to Stellenbosch should look comfortable on the log, and it nearly is: fourth against seventh, 13 points against 9. What stops us going higher than 52 percent is the shape of the Chiefs season. Three wins in seven is not the return of a side that puts games away, and Stellenbosch have drawn three of their seven. Two draw-prone teams meeting is the worst possible setup for a pick that has to name a winner.

The AmaZulu game at 49 percent is us being straight with you. AmaZulu are third on 16 points with 5 wins from 7, which is a better return than Chiefs have managed, and we still lean marginally to the home side on venue alone. When our number lands under 50 percent it means we think the most likely single outcome is our pick, but only just, and that a draw is very much live. If you want a pick you can lean on, this is not it.

The draw problem, in numbers

This is the part that matters if you are betting Chiefs matches, and it is the reason our own Betway Premiership column looks the way it does. We took the verified log for all 16 clubs and counted the season so far.

Betway Premiership 2026-27 so far Figure
League matches played 57
Matches that ended level 23
Share of matches drawn 40.4%
Kaizer Chiefs games drawn 4 of 7, 57.1%

Computed from the 16-team log verified on 23 September 2026: total games played divided by two gives 57 matches, and the drawn column across all clubs divided by two gives 23 drawn matches. The wins and losses columns balance at 34 each, which is the arithmetic check that the underlying table is sound.

Four matches in ten ending level is a very high rate, and Chiefs are running well above even that. For a prediction site this is brutal, because a pick that names a winner and gets a draw is a losing pick. It is also why we have stopped pretending confidence in this league should look like confidence in the Champions League.

What 13 points from 7 games projects to

Club Points per game 30-game projection
Orlando Pirates 2.71 81 points
Mamelodi Sundowns 2.50 75 points
AmaZulu 2.29 69 points
Kaizer Chiefs 1.86 56 points

Unbeaten reads better than it projects. On current rate Chiefs finish around 56 points, which in a normal Betway Premiership season is a top-four side rather than a champion. Converting two or three of those draws into wins is the entire difference between fourth and a title race, and it is the thing to watch when league football restarts on 13 October.

Our graded record, including the losses

Across every league we cover, our published record is 79 wins and 55 losses from 134 graded picks, 59 percent. Our Betway Premiership column is our worst: 6 wins and 7 losses, 46 percent from 13 graded picks. That is a losing column and we are not going to hide it behind the overall figure.

Record Result Note
All leagues, all time 79W-55L, 59% 134 graded picks
Betway Premiership 6W-7L, 46% 13 picks, our weakest league
Strong picks, 70% and up 19W-3L, 86% Across all leagues

We do not publish a club-by-club split for Chiefs yet, because 13 PSL picks in total is far too small a sample to slice by club without the number being noise. Every individual pick, Chiefs matches included, is listed in the public log on our home page with its result attached. Verified against the live site on 23 September 2026.

Reading our confidence figures. Strong means 70 percent and up, and that band is running at 19 wins and 3 losses. Good means 55 to 69. A close call is under 55 percent and is us telling you the match is near a coin toss. We never publish a pick for a match kicking off within the hour, and we never remove a pick that lost.
