South African giants Kaizer Chiefs are set to host Guinean side Horoya in Group C of the CAF Champions League this Tuesday. It is the first time ever for Chiefs playing in the group stages of Africa’s premier club competition. However, the fanfare that came with qualification for this stage has been marred with controversy as Chiefs had to wait this long to play their opening group game. Their scheduled opener, against Wydad Casablanca has now been postponed thrice after being denied entry to Morocco due to Covid related restrictions. Earlier, Egypt had agreed to host the game but later withdrew. Chiefs head to this game winless in six matches, and having just three wins in 10. They have lately been self destructive and in their last game, a needless foul saw them drop two points in a 1-1 draw with SuperSport United. That result meant they have no clean sheet in the last five matches, and winless in four straight home matches. Chiefs have also conceded twice in three of their last four matches and just one home win in 13 matches doesn’t leave them well placed. In the last 13 home matches, Chiefs have managed just four clean sheets.

Horoya, on their part, head to this game straight from a 5-0 win over Satelite FC in their domestic league. They are also top of Group C after a 2-0 win over Petro de Luanda in their opening game. Horoya are unbeaten in six matches and in their last five matches, they have four clean sheets and have scored nine goals while conceding one. This is not their first time in the group stages of this competition; they were here in 2018/18, and finished second in their group. They are unbeaten in their last three Champions League matches, winning the last two with two clean sheets. However, they have no win in their last five away matches in the competition, losing three and with no clean sheet in the five.
