Their match before the Mazembe tie against Mogoditshane Fighters in the Mascom Top 8 quarter-finals remains their last victory. After the Mazembe match, their next matches were against Nico United and ECCO City Greens where they lost 2-1 and drew 2-2. Immediately after the match against ECCO, they took a long trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for the second leg of the CAF Champions League match. They lost 6-0 before falling to TAFIC in a league match.BDF XI are the latest team to pile more misery with panic now starting to creep in on some supporters. Tomorrow's clash against Rollers will not only test their mental strength, but also a must-win if they are to increase their chances of retaining the league title. Chiefs are currently sitting at position two on the log with two games in hand.
Nico are at the summit of the league table, a point ahead. Against Rollers, they face another side that is under immense pressure following their 4-1 defeat to Gaborone United (GU) in the Mascom Top 8 semi-finals. Like Chiefs, Rollers find themselves on the verge of crashing out of the knockout competition. The defeat to GU prompted the sacking of coach, Darlington Dodo who was immediately replaced by Mike Sithole. Sithole returns after spending about three months with the team last season. Both Chiefs and Rollers have a tough duty to assure their supporters that they can overturn the score lines in the Mascom Top 8 second leg matches. A loss by either side tomorrow will put them in further disarray. Both sides have shown that they can easily crack at the back when under pressure. Spectators are likely to be treated to an all-attacking affair from the first minute. An interesting battle is in the offing in the middle of the park with Chiefs boasting the likes of Amos Godirwang and Elvis Meleka, while Rollers have Maano Ditshupo and Lawrence Majawa.
