Chiefs, Pirates and Wits to play in KZN this weekend
Telkom Knockout quarterfinals take center stage this weekend in terms of local football.
Three of those Quarterfinals will be in KZN.
On Saturday - Amazulu play the 'sea robber' Orlando Pirates at the Moses Mabhida stadium 6pm Kick off
On the same day in Maritzburg - Team of choice host Bidvest Wits at 8:15pm at the Harry Gwala Stadium.
Sunday will see Kaizer Chiefs play Supersport United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Chiefs haven’t managed to beat SuperSport in any of their last eight meetings, and Matsatsantsa have recently knocked them out of the MTN8.
Midfielder Willard Katsande has likened the clash a battle between a man and a lion.
“Obviously, it’s a huge game but, at the same time, if you are in a jungle and you meet up with a lion, you don’t need to close your eyes, you just need to open your eyes and attack,” said Katsande.
“Because if you give your back it will hurt you more, but if the lion sees that you’re also [charging with] open eyes, maybe what will happen is that you’ll clash, and we don’t know who’s going to win.
“So, we all know history says that we’ve never beaten [SuperSport] in eight matches but this is a new game with different ingredients, so we’re looking forward to the challenge and giving our fans something to smile about.”
Chiefs will also be looking to end a run of 4 matches without a win.
