On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs started the season brightly but lost to Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United in back-to-back matches in the Betway Premiership.

Magesi coach speaks on facing Kaizer Chiefs

According to iDiskiTimes, Magesi FC manager Clinton Larsen is confident ahead of his team's tie against Kaizer Chiefs later today at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Magesi knocked out Orlando Pirates from the Carling Knockout competition, and Larsen is optimistic that his side can get all three points against the Buccaneers city rivals.

"Without the depth in our squad, that's why earlier on I spoke about the work our fitness coach is doing," Larsen told the media.
"We have to rely on this core group of players to carry us through this period, so they will have to go again.
"Hopefully, we can manage the minutes in the next game against Kaizer Chiefs and save some legs for that cup game, but we can't put preference from one over the other.

"Unfortunately, we don't have the depth, but we want to win each game, so we will try to put our strongest team in.
"We've got great medical staff that can get the boys to recover; Monday and Tuesday, we don't train at all so that we can reload those batteries for Wednesday against Kaizer Chiefs."
