This is what Kaizer Chiefs fans have been yearning for. Amakhosi battling with the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns at the summit of the Betway Premiership.
Nasreddine Nabi’s side have a proper chance to jump straight to the top of the table when they host Sekhukhune United at FNB Stadium. Kick-off is 19:30. You can’t afford to blink.
Kaizer Chiefs are sitting in third place with 13 points, just one point behind Mamelodi Sundowns, who are top with 14. However, Sekhukhune are also on 13 points, in second place. That means tonight isn’t a game to sleep on.
BETWAY PREMIERSHIP: KAIZER CHIEFS VS MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Chatting to the media ahead of the game, Amakhosi midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu expressed respect for Babina Noko while also showing confidence in Kaizer Chiefs’ preparations.
“It is a difficult encounter, this one,” Ndlovu said. “They’ve got so many threats that you have to deal with. They have individual threats, they have set-piece threats. You also have individual skills that you really need to deal with.
“But looking at how we have prepared, we have prepared perfectly for them. We are looking forward to playing the game. It still needs to be played. You can never win a game without playing it.
When asked if Kaizer Chiefs are thinking about the points tie, Ndlovu said, “Not really. This is a marathon. You need to go at your own pace. We are focusing on ourselves right now until probably later in the league [race].”
