Chippa eyes maximum points against Swallows

Nkosinathi Nhleko believes that the change of venue for the potential explosive fixture between Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows will work to their opponents’ disadvantage, as the Glamour Boys look at intensifying their Absa Premiership challenge this season.



The game was moved to Coca-Cola Park by the Premier Soccer League, following rains that came down heavily in Soweto last week, and the Future Champions Tournament that was held there did not help matters either.



“The change of venue might unsettle them as they have played most of their games at Dobsonville Stadium this season. It does not matter where we play for us as it is always like a home game,” said Nhleko, speaking to kaizerchiefs.com on Monday morning.



‘Chippa’, as the player is affectionately known, is aware that this game is a ‘must win’, “It is not only me but as a team we know it is important for us to start on a high note and it has to be at our opponents' expense.

"It is going to be tough as both teams come from Soweto and whoever wins has the bragging rights. The most important thing for us is three points going into this game,” added Nhleko.



The Glamour Boys go to Coca-Cola Park lying third position in the log with 41 points after 24 games and they will close the gap between them and leaders, SuperSport United, who are meeting Orlando Pirates on Wednesday to just three points.



Meanwhile, striker Kaizer Motaung Jr has started running at Naturena after being sidelined by a back injury.

Team Physiotherapist, Dave Milner, told kaizerchiefs.com that they will monitor the progress of the striker before he joins his teammates for full training.
