Kaizer Chiefs FC have won to ignite the prospect of a Soweto Derby on consecutive weekends. The team's win over Golden Arrows could lead to a thrilling encounter between the two giants of South African football. The PSL has confirmed that the draw for the semi-finals will be conducted straight after the latter encounter. As per tradition, the semis will be a two-legged affair, contested on the weekends of 22-23 August and 29-30 August. Should Fernando da Cruz's troops claim the win, then a Soweto Derby on consecutive weekends is a real likelihood, with the two giants of South African football set to meet in Betway Premiership action on October 31. This fixture in the domestic game has pulling power second to none and is considered one of the best derbies not just in Africa but the world over. If they progress and get drawn against Mamelodi Sundowns, then it will mean Chiefs would face the men in Blue and Yellow three weekends in a row as they have a league date next Saturday. There is also the chance of coming up against the winner of AmaZulu FC versus Sekhukhune United, which many would view as an easier route to the final. But first they have to get past an Arrows side that was impressive last season but have made changes to the technical bench, with Manqoba Mngqithi having departed and Pitso Dladla coming in as the new head coach. League standing: 1st in Premier Soccer League, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W. Goals this season: 3 scored, 1 conceded (+2 goal difference).
