Kaizer Chiefs will have little time to recover from their Derby loss on Saturday as they look to bounce back against Richards Bay in their next Betway Premiership clash. Amakhosi travel to the uMhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay for Tuesday evening’s encounter.
After a tough weekend, the players and coaches have reset their focus on the next challenge in their quest to return to continental competition, a dream that requires finishing in the league’s top three.
Richards Bay, meanwhile, have not played since their 1-0 defeat to AmaZulu on 20 February. Chiefs, who were in action on Saturday, will be contesting their third match in just a week.
On the log, Chiefs are in fifth place with 30 points from 17 matches, while the hosts sit 12th with 20 points from 18 games. Amakhosi will be aiming to complete the double over the Natal Rich Boys, having beaten them 1-0 at FNB Stadium back in August.
Unfortunately for Chiefs supporters in KwaZulu-Natal, tickets for Tuesday’s match sold out quickly, just as it happened in the Soweto Derby, with many eager to catch a glimpse of the Glamour Boys, who have never played in Richards Bay before.
Fans without tickets can follow the action live on SuperSport’s Channel 202 on DStv at 19:30, with commentary on various SABC radio stations.
