Chiefs looks to continue good form against Sundowns

Kaizer Chiefs are determined to continue with their good form when they host a tricky Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Chiefs will want to make it three wins in a row and maintain their number one spot in the Betway Premiership.

But Amakhosi players know that they will be coming up against quality opposition, and they are required to bring their A-game to be able to get maximum points this weekend.

Chiefs and Sundowns couldn’t be separated in the league last season, with two league encounters ending in a stalemate.

In the first round, the two teams played to a goalless draw at the FNB Stadium at the beginning of last season.

Then the reverse fixture at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium ended in a 1-all draw.

But Amakhosi defender Inacio Miguel believes they have assembled a very good side this season that can go toe-to-toe with any team, including Sundowns.

“We have a team that is very connected, very compact, something that was lacking a little bit in the past few seasons.

So, I think we are in a good (shape).

Obviously, it’s a long road, it’s a long journey, but I’m pretty sure we will achieve something pretty this season.” But Miguel says they will show a lot of respect to Sundowns, who were recently crowned champions of Africa.

“First of all, you have to respect Sundowns, you know.

I think South Africa have to respect Sundowns because they are the champions of the Champions League.

So, we are going to face Sundowns with a lot of respect, but we can’t forget who we are.

We also understand that we have the capacity to go over Sundowns.
