DStv Premiership: Royal AM anticipating tough Kaizer Chiefs test

Head coach John Maduka is anticipating a tough encounter when his Royal AM side welcomes Kaizer Chiefs to the Harry Gwala Stadium in a DStv Premiership clash on Sunday.

In their previous encounter in the first round of the 2023/24 season, the two sides couldn’t be separated in a goalless draw.

“The preparations have been going well and the boys have been responding very well, it’s good to have a full squad,” Maduka said.

“The players that were injured have come back and they are training with the team. So, it’s good to have the likes of Khethokwakhe Masuku, Zukile Mkhize, Levy Mashiane and Patrick Nyame.

“We are looking forward to the game. We know that it’s going to be a very difficult game. It’s always good to play against teams like Kaizer Chiefs because for you to be known or recognised, you have to play against the best.

“I think it’s going be more of a tactical game. We know of their speedy players, they are very quick in transition when they win the ball.”

Sixth-placed Chiefs will be aiming to climb the log table with a win on Sunday and could move into the top four.

The Soweto giants are undefeated in their last four league encounters and will be aiming to continue their good form under Cavin Johnson.

Kick-off is at 15:30.
