The Amakhosi are in a celebratory mood after turning 39 on 07th January and are prepared to turn the corner this weekend.
Chiefs are lying on seventh position in the log with 20 points while their opponents, Sundowns are not far off on ninth position with 19 points.
Fireworks are expected to fly when the two sides meet as Club captain, Jimmy Tau acknowledged, “Mamelodi Sundowns is always a tough side to play against and on Sunday it will not be different. We are however looking at starting the year on a high note.
What is better than getting three points against Sundowns? We are ready,” he said.
Sundowns won this fixture the last time the sides met last season but since then Chiefs has had an upper hand with victories during Telkom Charity and notable, MTN 8 final in Durban.
“We are aware of the challenges we face as a team this year and we are determined to overcome them. The first half of the season was a lesson for us as a team,” said the Kimberly born defender.
Statistics show that The Glamour Boys have had an upper hand in this fixture over the years with Kaizer Chiefs winning a total of nine out of twenty four games while Sundowns are close having won eight.
However the fact that Chiefs last beat Sundowns in the league on 15 February 2006 should be enough to spur on the Glamour Boys come Sunday.
