Morton advises Kaizer Chiefs ahead of AmaZulu's tie

In an interview on SoccerBeat podcast, as per the South African, Morton claimed Kaizer Chiefs need to beat AmaZulu on Wednesday, and should be their primary focus rather than wanting to get one over defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Amakhosi started the season with a 2-1 win over Marumo Gallants in the PSL opener. Their first home game of the season is against the Brazilians on Saturday, September 28, 2024.

"I think the Chiefs fans will want to win the Sundowns game more, but if I'm looking from the outside, the most important game for them is the AmaZulu game," he said.

The former Bucs midfielder believes Sundowns are on another level compared to AmaZulu, and the Glamour Boys should be beating teams like Usuthu rather than focusing on the weekend tie.
