The Glamour Boys will be desperate to bounce back to winning ways after their disappointing 1-0 loss against Golden Arrows in their previous match.

It’s an even playing field – Lentjies

“You know when you are playing Kaizer Chiefs you are playing away from home whether you are playing home or away, so it doesn’t matter.” – Chippa head coach Kurt Lentjies told HeraldLive.
“For me the field is still the same. There’s two goalposts and there are white lines whether you are playing home or away.
“So for us from a physiological point of view it’s not something I would like to raise with the players all the time.
“When the referee blows his whistle we have 90 mins-plus to focus and to concentrate whether we are playing home or away against Kaizer Chiefs.
“In the past, our home form has been something to think about and something to improve, but it’s not something major. We want to play for three points so that is what we are going to do on the Saturday.”
