Kaizer Chiefs set sights on three points against Egyptian giants Zamalek

Chiefs enter the final group game knowing that a draw will secure top spot, but Kaze and striker Ashley Du Preez have made it clear that the team's objective is victory.

"Tomorrow (Saturday) will be a decisive game for both teams. We had a good journey to Egypt. The conditions are good here. We know our opponents and they know us too because we have already played each other in South Africa," he told the media during a press-conference.

"Zamalek are a big team and we expect a tough match, but we are up for the task. We have our own plans and we will go into the game with determination in front of a very supportive fanbase. I hope it's a good game and that we come out with a positive result."

Kaze also stressed that Chiefs have grown in confidence since the 1-1 draw in South Africa, noting that the team has adapted to continental competition after a few years' absence.

"We started slowly, but as the group has progressed, we have grown in confidence and believe we can compete against any team," he said.

Du Preez echoed his coach's sentiments, highlighting the squad's motivation.

"We are ready. We have worked hard to be in this position and we are going to give it a hundred percent tomorrow. Even though we only need a draw, as Kaizer Chiefs we come here with the intention to win. I don't think we'll just sit back and play not to lose," he said.

Chiefs' final Group D fixture against Zamalek promises to be a mouthwatering encounter, with both teams determined to enter the knockout stages on a high, and Chiefs aiming to prove that their resurgence in domestic football can translate into continental authority.
