Steve Barker Urges Fairness Ahead of MTN8 Final Against Orlando Pirates

Kaizer Chiefs are set to face Mamelodi Sundowns in one of the heavyweight clashes in the Betway Premiership this season.

The two Premier Soccer League giants are one of the four clubs that are yet to lose a game in the league this season, while Amakhosi are one of the two clubs with perfect starts so far.

The Glamour Boys didn't participate in the MTN8 this season and haven't played so many games like Masadanwana, but the Pretorian side have also been knocked out of the competition after starting well against Richards Bay.

Players who can get Chiefs a win against Sundowns

Sports analyst Uche Anuma, during an exclusive interview with Briefly News, shared his thoughts on how Kaizer Chiefs can get a win against Mamelodi Sundowns in their midweek fixtures.

"For Kaizer Chiefs to win this match, they need to take their chances when they get them in the match," he said.

"The goal scoring chances would definitely come, but the issue is Kaizer Chiefs converting them, because that's one of their major problems last season against the big teams, even smaller clubs.

"Another thing they have to do better is defend well while depriving Mamelodi Sundowns of getting too many chances in the game."

Anuma then listed some of the players in Kaizer Chiefs' squad who can lead them to victory against the Pretorian giants on Wednesday evening.

"They've had some good buys this summer and their new signings might be useful to their quest of taking all three points against the Brazilians," he added.

"Glody Lilepo has been lively for Kaizer Chiefs in attack this season and could be one of the players who could decide the outcome of the match.

"Thabo Cele would also be decisive for Amakhosi as they might win the match from the midfielder. Another important figure for Nasreddine Nabi's side would be Brandon Petersen in goal.
