AmaZulu will face Kaizer Chiefs in their next DStv Premiership match at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Kick-off is at 17h30 CAT.

It will be a very important match for Usuthu to fight for a place in the top eight as the season draws closer to its conclusion. Currently, the team is in 12th position but have leeway as they are only two points behind eighth placed Chiefs.

Ahead of the encounter, coach Pablo Franco Martin mentioned that he thinks the match against Chiefs will be entertaining and that the team has a good chance of getting a good result.

“It is a massive one. Chiefs are coming and a lot of fans are going to be coming to support them and I think they are going to have the motivation to give them joy,” said Franco Martin.

“They are a big team with top players, but if we perform the way we performed against Stellenbosch and we face the Chiefs game with that intensity and concentration that we usually have when we have these kinds of games,”

“I am sure it is going to be an amazing show and it is going to be tough. It is going to depend on the performance that we display,” he added.
