The Glamour Boys didn't participate in the MTN8 this season and haven't played so many games like Masadanwana, but the Pretorian side has also been knocked out of the competition after starting well against Richards Bay.

"For Kaizer Chiefs to win this match, they need to take their chances when they get them in the match," he said.
"The goal scoring chances would definitely come, but the issue is Kaizer Chiefs converting them, because that's one of their major problems last season against the big teams, even smaller clubs.
"Another thing they have to do better is defend well while depriving Mamelodi Sundowns of getting too many chances in the game."

Anuma then listed some of the players in Kaizer Chiefs' squad who can lead them to victory against the Pretorian giants on Wednesday evening.

"They've had some good buys this summer and their new signings might be useful to their quest of taking all three points against the Brazilians," he added.

"Glody Lilepo has been lively for Kaizer Chiefs in attack this season and could be one of the players who could decide the outcome of the match.
"Thabo Cele would also be decisive for Amakhosi as they might win the match from the midfielder. Another important figure for Nasreddine Nabi's side would be Brandon Petersen in goal.
"Petersen would face a lot of shots and would need to be at his best in the match."

Kaizer Chiefs need all three points in the match to continue their unbeaten and perfect start to the season, with Sundowns also hoping to return to winning ways against Amakhosi and also a revenge for the loss against them in the Nedbank Cup last season.
