“It’s a very interesting clash because Pirates are playing good football, they are attacking and scoring goals but are not doing well at the back,” Mkhalele told Goal.
“On the opposite side, Chiefs is very disciplined at the back and it will be very interesting to see who will come out tops. We all know that coach Rhulani (Mokwena) also expressed delight that they won without conceding last weekend. He was happy and I hope they remain solid at the back especially going into this game.
“It was his concern and that makes it more interesting to see who will take it. However, it will depend on which team wants it the most and which one is motivated on the day.”
