Cedric Kaze, Kaizer Chiefs co-coach, explains factors behind improved Betway Premiership results

The 2 nil win has bolstered Kaizer Chiefs hold on third spot as they chase a place in the CAF Confederation Cup for the upcoming campaign, and an upcoming match against struggling Magesi offers a chance to widen that margin.

They sit three points ahead of fourth placed AmaZulu, while holding two extra fixtures, which could allow them to forge a substantial lead over competitors.

Co coach Cedric Kaze views the side as synchronising well at this crucial stage, crediting their upward trajectory lately to reliable squad choices and the athletes grasping the tactical framework set by the coaching group.

The steady outcomes in recent matches stem from reliable displays and a stable starting eleven, Kaze stated.

We developed a playing style with various methods to penetrate the penalty area and build superior numbers across the field, yet I feel the players now connect more effectively, opening up additional scoring chances.

Kaizer Chiefs remain somewhat restrained offensively, with just 24 goals from 22 league outings so far, though seven arrived across their most recent three encounters.

Indeed, we notched seven goals over the past three matches, and sustaining that momentum through the seasons closing phase is essential, as I am convinced we generate sufficient openings to exceed this tally, Kaze commented.

The coaching staff has urged the squad to uphold high levels outside of game days during the campaigns final phase.

We aim to sustain intensity for all at daily sessions, beyond practice, with proper recovery, timely rest, and unified effort. Moreover, the ongoing coaching directive emphasises avoiding any lapse in focus.

Eight matches remain, and from our coaching perspective, we are clear on our objectives. Our role is to support the club, and we shall exert maximum effort in the games ahead.
