Amakhosi will be pushing to secure a place in the group stages, marking their first appearance in CAF interclub competitions since the 2020/21 season, when they made a remarkable run to the Champions League final.
The first leg of the tie ended in a goalless draw when they travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo last weekend, but the Soweto giants are looking forward to qualifying for the next round.

Kaze discloses what's motivating Kaizer Chiefs
Kaze expressed hope that his team can replicate their strong showing from the first preliminary round's second leg, where they overturned a 1-0 aggregate deficit to beat Kabuscorp of Angola in penalties.
Reflecting on that match, the Chiefs' coach said his side dominated proceedings and created enough chances to secure victory in regulation time. He described it as one of their best performances of the season despite not converting their opportunities.
“I believe that game was one of our best, even though we only managed to score once,” Kaze said. “We had about five or six clear chances to score. The intensity, accuracy, technical combinations, and the team’s balance both offensively and defensively were all very good.”
He added that if the team can reproduce the same level of performance, he is confident they will achieve a positive result in the second leg of the current preliminary round.

"Not a fan of Kaizer Chiefs but I hope them and Stellies can join us in the next stages😌😌Otherwise I want us to be beat Remo Stars 2-0, why just 2-0 instead of 5-0, because there might be squad rotation of fringe players who haven't got their chemistry of playing, let alone together."
