Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to build on their victory in the Soweto
derby when they take on Richards Bay FC in the DStv Premiership on
Wednesday afternoon.
The Glamour Boys are on a mission to climb up the table and close the gap
between themselves and the top two, with Chiefs currently lying fifth on
the log, three points behind third-placed Orlando Pirates and five points
behind second-placed SuperSport United.
Arthur Zwane’s side will be looking to make it two wins in a row in the
league after edging Orlando Pirates 1-0 in the Soweto derby last weekend
and will be without the services of striker Ashley Du Preez who has failed
to recover from the injury he picked up in the derby.
Richards Bay, meanwhile, are searching for their first win since
mid-January as they have gone three games without a win, with their last
outing ending in a 2-1 loss to Stellenbosch.
The Natal Rich Boyz have since dropped down to fourth on the table, equal
on points with Chiefs and will be looking to avenge their 1-0 defeat in
the reverse fixture, with Dillan Solomons netting the game’s only goal
from the penalty spot.
Both teams will be looking to make the most of this opportunity as they
battle for continental places and the bragging rights in Durban.
