Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA) and Kaizer Chiefs have set an allocation of 75 000 tickets for tomorrow’s Betway Premiership clash between AmaKhosi and Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium.
Around this time last season, the Kaizer Chiefs duo of Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman were still fighting a serious legal battle to free themselves from Cape Town Spurs, but this season has started brightly for both.
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sphelele Mkhulise expects a much more determined Kaizer Chiefs when the sides meet at FNB Stadium on Saturday, with AmaKhosi currently sitting top of the Betway Premiership.
Kaizer Chiefs respect Mamelodi Sundowns as African champions and as the leading team in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era, but they don’t fear them according to Inacio Miguel.
There was a bizarre moment in Sekhukhune United’s 2-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs, when Mncedi Vandala, who had been introduced by Cedric Kaze late in the game in the second half, was subbed off again 20 minutes later.
Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has described the club’s youngster Luke Baartman as a player with good technical qualities, who gives them a lot of possibilities when he’s on the pitch.
