Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC return to CAF Confederation Cup action this week as South Africa’s representatives look to build early group-stage momentum.
Stellenbosch travel to Tanzania to face Singida Black Stars after opening their campaign with a narrow win over AS Otoho d’Oyo. While their continental form is improving, Steve Barker’s side remain in the PSL relegation zone and will view this fixture as a chance to carry confidence into their domestic fight.

Singida come off a defeat to CR Belouizdad but have been steady at home, making this a finely balanced encounter.
Chiefs host Egyptian giants Zamalek in a clash that could shape Group C. Amakhosi were edged by Al Masry in their opener but arrive with encouraging domestic form, having lost just once in their last six matches and showing renewed sharpness in attack.

Zamalek started their group with a win over ZESCO United but have struggled for consistency in the Egyptian Premier League, with only one victory in their last five outings.
Both South African sides face contrasting tasks: Stellenbosch must navigate a difficult away trip, while Chiefs will look to make home advantage count against one of Africa’s traditional heavyweights.
