Adolf Mtasingwa Urges Kaizer Chiefs to Beat Golden Arrows Before Break

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa believes Sunday’s Betway Premiership clash against Golden Arrows presents Amakhosi with the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways before the FIFA international break.

Chiefs remain unbeaten in the league this season but have struggled to turn promising performances into victories in recent weeks.

With the domestic programme set to pause immediately after Sunday’s fixture, Mtasingwa says Chiefs are determined to head into the break with three points.

Chiefs targeting a winning finish

The Soweto giants made an impressive start to the campaign with consecutive victories, but their momentum has since slowed.

Chiefs have drawn three of their last four matches, leaving them fourth on the Betway Premiership table with 12 points from six matches.

Golden Arrows are currently seventh with seven points, meaning Chiefs hold a five-point advantage over their opponents heading into the meeting.

For Mtasingwa, however, the league position does not tell the entire story.

The midfielder believes Chiefs’ recent results have not reflected the quality of their performances and insists there is no reason for the squad to panic.

According to Mtasingwa, the team’s structure remains intact and dropped points have been influenced by fine margins rather than a fundamental problem with the way Chiefs are playing.

A full week of preparation has also given the squad confidence ahead of the weekend encounter.

Mbombela could give Chiefs a home-like advantage

Sunday’s fixture will have an unusual feel for a Golden Arrows home match.

Instead of being played at Arrows’ traditional base in Durban, the encounter will take place at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

That could work in Chiefs’ favour, with Amakhosi expecting significant support from their travelling fanbase.

Mtasingwa believes the strong Chiefs following at Mbombela can provide the players with an additional lift as they look to finish the current run of fixtures strongly.

The midfielder also wants the team to repay that support with a performance that delivers the result their supporters are looking for.
