Lebohang Maboe reflects on Kaizer Chiefs revival ahead of Chippa United test

Having already secured third place and qualification for next season's CAF Confederation Cup, Amakhosi head into their final league fixture with far less pressure than in recent years following a campaign that has shown clear signs of progress.

Maboe, who joined Chiefs at the beginning of the season, believes the team's improvement throughout the campaign has created a positive atmosphere within the squad.

"Preparations are going very well. We are looking forward to our last game with the aim of finishing the season on a high," Maboe was quoted on the club's website.

The experienced midfielder says being part of the club's revival has been one of the highlights of his first season in Naturena.

"I think it has been pretty good to be part of the progress we have made as a team, growing together," he said.

"I am very proud of the work we have been putting in, and I'm looking to continue that path next season."

Chiefs' final opponents, Chippa United, have already secured their Premiership status for another season and will also be hoping to finish the campaign strongly.

Maboe expects a difficult challenge from the Chilli Boys but believes Amakhosi have done enough preparation to expose weaknesses in their opponents.

"They are quite a direct team. But, without giving anything away, in our analysis of them we have noticed a few areas we feel we can exploit so we will be ready for them on Saturday," he said.

The midfielder also expects Chiefs to enjoy massive support in Durban, where Moses Mabhida Stadium has become a successful venue for the Soweto giants this season.

"Durban is always home for us. We are looking forward to seeing the Khosi Nation coming out to get behind us and enjoy the final match with us," the midfielder concluded.
