Chippa United coach Morgan Mammila is not losing sleep ahead of his side’s clash against Kaizer Chiefs in next weekend’s DStv Premiership opener.

According to Mammila, Chiefs are ‘very easy to play against’, which makes preparations for the match simple.

Molefi Ntseki will take charge of his maiden official game come next weekend after being promoted to head coach at Naturena.

But Mammila is not expecting Ntseki to bring anything new to Kaizer Chiefs.

“Very easy team to play against, very easy. You know them, we all know them, we know their advantages and disadvantages.” Mammila said as quoted by IdiskiTimes.
