    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Kaizer Chiefs will be at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban to play AmaZulu in the Premier Soccer League outing.

    Their last game was on Saturday, September 14 against Marumo Gallants, a game they won 2-1 to give Nasreddine Nabi a good start.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Nabi and Franco Martin are not new to each other. The duo has faced each other in Tanzania where Martin was coaching Simba SC and Nabi Young Africans SC.

    Ahead of the match, Martin claimed that he knows the Tunisian, but Nabi has decided to avoid the jibe and share how his team is prepared in their bid to get another win.

    WHAT NABI SAID

    "Our preparation has been good. We have watched the previous game of our opponents, AmaZulu, and analysed the strengths of the team and some areas where we believe they have weaknesses that we can exploit," Nabi told the club's media team.

    "The turnaround times between matches can present challenges. If you have more than one week’s rest between games you can lose something, but our fitness coaches have been working hard to get the players in the best possible shape to perform at a high level.

    "I know [Martin], he is my friend, and in Tanzania, he was one of the best coaches and he is someone whose ability I respect, so we will see how it turns out. I hope everyone will enjoy the contest," he concluded.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Chiefs need this win to boost their confidence ahead of a high-profile fixture this weekend against the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

    The Brazilians are on a winning streak; they have won their last four games across all competitions after a poor start to the domestic campaign.
