We need to take our chances – Mbule

“When we look at the games that we have played I think that we also create a lot of chances.” – Sipho Mbule told the Mamelodi Sundowns website.

“The problem is that we were not converting them. I think coming into this game, if we can score the chances that we create [then] things will be easier for us and the fluctuation will stop.

“They [AmaZulu] are coming from a loss against Chippa [United]. I think it’s going to be a competitive game because they will want to pick up some points.

“I think they also lost two, drew two and won three. It’s not going to be an easy game.”
