Kaizer Chiefs are set for another Premier Soccer League action on Tuesday when they host Magesi FC at the FNB Stadium.
While the Glamour Boys continue to push their way into the top positions and possibly a place in the Caf competitions slots, Dikwena Tsa Meetse are hoping to beat the relegation battle and dine with the big boys once more.
Recent Form and Head-to-Head Record
In the last five games, across all competitions, the Glamour Boys have collected two wins, as many losses, and a draw. They have lost back-to-back matches against SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns respectively.
Dikwena Tsa Meetse have won three of their last five league outings, losing the remaining two. The last match was against SuperSport United, a match they won by a solitary goal.
In the last meeting, the Soweto giants came from two goals down to force a 2-2 draw.
What They Said
“I would like to pass a message to the fans and apologise to them for where we are on the log standing,” Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi recently said after the loss against Mamelodi Sundowns.
“It doesn't reflect the performances we have been having. We are working hard and we want to assure the supporters this is a temporary thing. We are sure the team will finish the league in a higher position than we are right now.
“We are feeling the improvement of the players in these big games where they show character and good mindset. It's only the small things that could have made the difference in those big games, don't panic.”
Team News and Starting XI
Chiefs missed the suspended Gaston Sirino in the loss against Mages but the creative midfielder is back. Nevertheless, the Glamour Boys will have to do without the injured trio of Wandile Duba, Ashley du Preez, and Tashreeq Morris.
