Friday’s Nedbank Cup Round of 32 matchup between Kaizer Chiefs and Maritzburg United is scheduled to take place at the Harry Gwala Stadium. It will be an important game for the Glamour Boys, who haven’t won the Premier Soccer League title in weeks because they didn’t get the MTN8, which Orlando Pirates, their rivals, won.
Arthur Zwane, the Chiefs’ head coach, recently stated that some of his players have found the Chiefs jersey to come with a lot of expectations, which has negatively impacted their performance, and that they will hope for a different outcome on Friday night. Fadlu Davids, a former Pirates tactician, is in charge of The Team of Choice and hopes that the support of the public will propel his team to victory.
The tactician, on the other hand, insists that the PSL, where they are in danger, is his primary concern. However, he believes that a victory on Friday will boost his players’ confidence.
