Race to 40 Goals
It’s not just about the total, but the consistency. Which club do you predict will be the first to reach 40 goals in the Betway Premiership this season?
The Orlando Pirates have undergone notable changes in their attacking lineup. While they’ve added promising talent like Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City and Kamogelo Sebelebele from TS Galaxy, they’ve also experienced significant departures. Zakhele Lepasa‘s exit and Monnapule Saleng‘s loan move to Orbit College represent substantial goal-scoring threats that need replacement . The retention of Relebohile Mofokeng despite interest from Minnesota United is crucial for their creative output.
Kaizer Chiefs have focused heavily on addressing their historical goal-scoring issues through strategic acquisitions. The signing of Etiosa Ighodaro from Mamelodi Sundowns and the loan acquisition of Khanyisa Mayo (son of Chiefs legend Patrick Mayo) from CR Belouizdad represent major offensive reinforcements . Additionally, the addition of Flávio Silva from Persebaya Surabaya and Lebohang Maboe from Sundows provides further attacking options . Unlike Pirates, Chiefs have not lost any key attackers, providing continuity to their offensive unit.
Kaizer Chiefs appear to have made the more significant offensive reinforcements with their multiple striker signings, while Orlando Pirates have bet on their system and retained their creative talent despite losing some goal-scoring output. The true test will come on the pitch,
