A must-win for Chiefs

-

This Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs will appear in their first ever CAF Champions League quarterfin­al as they host Tanzanian champions Simba SC. The latter not only won the 2019/20 league title but also sit atop the Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara (the Tanzanian Premier League) at present, in stark contrast to their opponents, who are closer to the relegation places than the PSL’s top six. This match will be the Soweto giants’ first meeting against

Tanzanian opposition although they did beat Zimamoto from Zanzibar’s Premierr League in the 2018/19 CAF Confederat­ion Cup. Considhief­s’ ering Simba’s strong home record, Chiefs home match at FNB Stadium, hardly a fortress for the Glamour Boys, is a must-win. Can Gavin Hunt oversee a victory and therefore an advanar tage to take into the second leg in Dar es Sae laam in a week’s time? Who are the key players for Amakhosi to nullify? How should Hunt set up his side? Soccer Laduma investigat­es
