Kaizer Chiefs target three points in relocated clash against Siwelele

Kaizer Chiefs target three points in relocated clash against Siwelele

Amakhosi were forced to switch venues for the league clash due to FNB Stadium being unavailable because of 'Rugby's Greatest Rivalry' Test match between the Springboks and New Zealand.

Both teams come into the encounter on the back of drawn results, with Yandisa Mfolozi rescuing a point for Siwelele against Chippa United and Siphesihle Ndlovu equalizing for Chiefs in the 2-2 draw against Richards Bay.

"We'll train at the stadium in the afternoon to feel the grass, get a feel for the environment and feel the size, but it is not a main priority for us," said the Soweto giants head coach Da Cruz.

"The main priority for us is to focus on our performance and our mandate."

The French coach also revealed that defender Thabo Moloisane has joined Langelihle Phili and Thabiso Monyane on the injury list, while confirming Paseka Mako, Bradley Cross, Kabelo Nkgwesa and Reeve Frosler will not feature in the next match despite returning to training.

Third-placed Chiefs are yet to win against the Bloemfontein-based outfit, drawing their first encounter and losing the last match 2-0 in April but are unbeaten in the league during the current campaign.

Meanwhile, Siwelele are yet to win a match this season and find themselves languishing in 14th position on the league table after losing and drawing twice in four games.
