Kaizer Chiefs head into the two-week international break with much needed confidence.

Molefi Ntseki’s side are unbeaten in their previous three matches, picking up vital wins against AmaZulu and Stellenbosch as well as hard earned draw against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8.

While they’ll enjoy the next two weeks away from competitive action, they’ll have one eye firmly on their next three matches which take place within one week after the return.

We don’t want to concede – Ntseki

“In terms of the tactics, I think it is something we will carry over from the last two matches into this match, so that everybody is ready and understands what is expected of him in possession and out of possession.” Molefi Ntseki told the Kaizer Chiefs Website.

“But the most important thing is we’ve been scoring goals from set plays, which makes us feel very confident going into this game.

“In the last two matches we did not concede anything, so I think it’s important that it’s a ‘zero concede’ game tomorrow and the most important thing is for us to score the goals.”

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Molefi Ntseki has provided an important update on star man Keagan Dolly.

The Amakhosi midfielder has been sidelined with a knee injury since last season, but there is some good news!

Dolly, who has been out for over four months, has finally returned to training at Naturena.

While he’ll undoubtedly be gradually intergrated back into the starting lineup, Kaizer Chiefs will indeed be pleased that their talisman is back on his feet.
