Sekhukhune United’s Daniel Cardoso is feeling the pressure as he gears up to face his former team, Kaizer Chiefs, in what many are calling
“the game of the weekend.”
The anticipation is high as both teams prepare to clash at Peter Mokaba Stadium this Saturday.
Having recently secured a crucial victory in the Nedbank Cup, Kaizer Chiefs are riding a wave of momentum that they hope will carry them through this tough match against Sekhukhune United. Amidst their recent struggles in the league, with just one win in their last 10 games, Chiefs are eager to turn things around and secure a spot in the top eight.
“It’s another big game for them [Chiefs] because they want to make the top eight and we are fighting for the top three,”
shared Daniel Cardoso in an interview with Sowetan. The stakes are high for both teams, with Sekhukhune United aiming to solidify their third position and qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup once again.
According to Cardoso, last weekend’s Nedbank Cup triumph must have injected new life into Kaizer Chiefs, motivating them to push even harder for success. Reflecting on his time at Chiefs from 2015-2022, Cardoso commended his former team on their recent victory, acknowledging what it means to both club chairman Kaizer Motaung and their loyal supporters.
With tensions running high leading up to Saturday’s showdown, Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove emphasized the significance of this match. Despite their recent cup win, Dove stressed that their focus is now on securing a spot in the top eight through strong performances in the league.
“We know the importance of Saturday’s game… our main goal right now is trying by all means to be in the top eight,”
stated Dove. With key players like Inacio Miguel and Bradley Cross suspended for this crucial fixture, fans can expect strategic lineup changes from both sides as they battle it out on the field.
