TS Galaxy striker Wayde Lekay is looking forward to knocking Kaizer Chiefs out of the Nedbank Cup.
The Rockets shocked the local football fraternity in 2019 when they beat Amakhosi 1-0 to lift the 2018/19 premier knockout competition.
They have since struggled to replicate that kind of cup form, while they are languishing in last place in the DStv Premiership, with just three wins.
Their are plenty of signs of improvement under the new management though, with head coach Sead Ramovic only installed in October.
And Lekay is backing his teammates to come out on top when the two sides clash on Saturday.
He told the Sowetan: “The coaches have had a good time to install their style of football because it was a bit difficult for them to come in and do that when the season was on.
“It was difficult to change things and adapt to the style of football, but with the mini preseason that we got now and looking in the friendlies and at the training, it seems to be working.
“And with the squad we have, we can easily cause an upset again. It has been a good atmosphere at training and there is a lot of improvement from what the coaches want. And going to this game there is a lot of confidence in the team and the technical team.”
Lekay added: “There are no better opponents to judge ourselves [against] than Chiefs and take that performance into our league games.”
