Stadium Management South Africa (SMSA) and Kaizer Chiefs have set an allocation of 75 000 tickets for tomorrow’s Betway Premiership clash between AmaKhosi and Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium.
Around this time last season, the Kaizer Chiefs duo of Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman were still fighting a serious legal battle to free themselves from Cape Town Spurs, but this season has started brightly for both.
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sphelele Mkhulise expects a much more determined Kaizer Chiefs when the sides meet at FNB Stadium on Saturday, with AmaKhosi currently sitting top of the Betway Premiership.
Kaizer Chiefs respect Mamelodi Sundowns as African champions and as the leading team in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era, but they don’t fear them according to Inacio Miguel.
SABC Sport has established that Mamelodi Sundowns are exploring a potential move to Europe for defender Thato Sibiya, with interest understood to have emerged from abroad for the highly-rated youngster.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has called on match officials to better protect players after describing a tackle on midfielder Teboho Mokoena as brutal.
