Pitso may need to be boring against Chiefs
Downs coach Pitso Mosimane is wary of Chiefs' form.
The eagerly awaited showdown between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs will take place at the FNB stadium on Saturday at 20:15.
The two giants have each played 18 games this season with Chiefs being the form team after winning four of their last five games but five points behind.
Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane said he would be cautious against the high-flying Chiefs.
“Maybe we do five at the back. I want to respond to what the table says. We don’t want to lose at FNB,” Mosimane said at the press conference.
“We have to be smart. You might not win, but we are not losing… maybe I will use counter attack there. We will see how the game is. We have to be conservative‚ probably‚ why not. Maybe it’s always the first time. I’m scared of Chiefs.”

Mosimane, who’s a very attack-minded coach, said he might have to reconsider and play a defensive game against Chiefs.
He said the home team (Chiefs) were forced to play on the front foot to try to close the gap.
“We are playing away‚ so somebody (Chiefs) must attack,” he said.
Downs will be boosted by new signing of Jeremy Brockie, who proved a thorn in Chiefs’ side while still Supersport United.
