After a 1-1 home draw with SuperSport United on Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs have little time to prepare for Tuesday’s PSL visit to Cape Town City at Newlands Rugby Stadium.

However, Amakhosi have a good run of results behind them and did have a break while Cape Town City were in MTN8 action.

Benni McCarthy’s men slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Polokwane City in their first match at Newlands.

City have been in a public spat with the City of Cape Town over not being granted access to Cape Town Stadium. It could be argued that this has hampered the form of a team which is usually formidable on home soil.

Nevertheless, they responded positively to their MTN8 exit, holding Mamelodi Sundowns to a 1-1 away draw in their last match.

“It is difficult to lift yourself up after such a bad performance [against Polokwane City],” McCarthy told SuperSport TV after taking a point off Masandawana.

“I told the boys to pick themselves up. We needed to go there and we couldn’t play Sundowns at a better time than when we were at our worst. That’s when real champions are made. We needed to show character.”

His players will surely not need much motivating before facing the in-form Amakhosi in a fixture which tends to serve up plenty of entertainment.

Kick off time and prediction

Prediction: Amakhosi have won four of their last five fixtures against Cape Town City, but the Citizens are best with their backs against the wall. Both sides should be well-supported at Newlands and a scoring draw is predicted between two quality attacking sides.

Kick off time: Tuesday, 27 August at 19:30
