Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa has reflected on Amakhosi’s recent dip in form ahead of their Betway Premiership clash against Golden Arrows on Sunday afternoon.
The Glamour Boys will battle it out against the Pitso Dladla-led side at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.
The fixture was initially scheduled to take place at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 19 September. However, after exploring all available options, Abafana Bes’thende were unable to secure a suitable alternative venue in Durban due to circumstances beyond the club’s control, leading to the venue change.
While Chiefs remain undefeated in the league this season, they have drawn three of their last four matches after kicking off the campaign with back-to-back victories.
The Fernando da Cruz’s side currently sits fourth on the Betway Premiership standings with 12 points from six matches, five points ahead of seventh-placed Arrows.
WHAT ADOLF MTASINGWA MAKES OF KAIZER CHIEFS’ FORM
Speaking to the club’s official website, Mtasingwa expressed confidence in their tactical approach despite recent dropped points.
“Our game model is well structured. It’s just that we have been unlucky with results,” Mtasingwa said. “We have a good spirit in the camp. We have had a full week to get ready, and we are feeling positive about the game this weekend.”
The midfielder emphasised the significance of securing maximum points ahead of the upcoming FIFA international break.
“It is massively important to us as a team, considering our recent results. We always focus on the next game and are looking forward to it because we really want to boost our momentum with a win ahead of the FIFA international break that follows,” he added.
Playing in Mbombela rather than Durban effectively hands Chiefs a home-away-from-home advantage, as the Soweto giants traditionally command massive crowds in Mpumalanga—a factor Mtasingwa believes could work in their favour.
“The venue can count in our favour because we always have a lot of our fans that turn out to support us, for which we are very grateful. Their support is a big motivator for us because we want to make them proud and happy,” he concluded.
