This was after the reigning Premiership champions were held to a

1-1 draw by the Limpopo outfit Dynamos at FNB Stadium on Wednesday

night.

Rangers also registered a similar result on the same day,

playing to a 1-1 draw with Lamontville Golden Arrows in a

KwaZulu-Natal derby.

It promises to be an exciting game with the Mighty Maulers

pledging to end the dominance enjoyed by Amakhosi over them.

Rangers, who are coached by former Orlando Pirates striker Ian

Palmer, are still to beat Chiefs since the league was established

in 1996.

"Our dominance over Rangers will continue, we cannot afford to

drop even a single point after Wednesday's draw," said Chiefs

spokesman Putco Mafani.

"We will find ourselves in serious trouble at the end of the

season if we are not consistent, we have to close down the gap

between ourselves and log leaders Orlando Pirates."

Chiefs have

played four games since the start of the new year - beating Santos

1-0, going down 1-0 to Moroka Swallows, walloping Bloemfontein

Celtic 4-1 and the draw against Dynamos.

Rangers started the new year on a high note after beating Bush

Bucks 3-2, lost 1-0 to Jomo Cosmos and the midweek draw against

Arrows.

Palmer said they were expecting a tough match against Chiefs,

who are expected to arrive in Durban on Saturday.

"Chiefs are a good side with some brilliant players, but I think

we have a pretty good chance of pocketing the three points," he

said.

Rangers will be without midfielder Teboho Tsiu who is serving a

one match suspension after collecting his third yellow card on

Wednesday.
