Attacker Keagan Dolly insists Kaizer Chiefs have no fear ahead of a highly-anticipated clash against Orlando Pirates in Saturday’s Soweto derby.
The fierce rivals go head-to-head with just one point separating the two sides in the DStv Premiership.
While Amakhosi are in sixth place with 29 points from 19 games, the Buccaneers occupy fifth spot, with 30 points.
Pirates dropped points in the lead up to Saturday’s clash with a 1-1 draw against bottom-side Cape Town Spurs, but Chiefs secured a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows on Tuesday.
“There’s no way I am going to stand here and tell you guys that I am afraid of Pirates,” Dolly said.
“I am not going to lie to look good on camera and say I am afraid of them, and their players should also be saying the same. It’s a derby, it’s a football match, so we should go out there and compete.”
Dolly has personally struggled for form with injuries blighting his season as he has come under increasing scrutiny from fans.
“Obviously, it’s not my happiest season,” Dolly added.
“I haven’t been playing much, picking up small niggles here and there.
“I am coming back, trying to get to where I was when I joined the team. I want to start scoring goals and also getting those assists.”
