Johannesburg – The ongoing heatwave may present difficulties for Kaizer Chiefs as they journey to Limpopo to battle Polokwane City in a Betway Premiership encounter at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
The match is scheduled to commence at 15:30.
The SA Weather Service (SAWS) predicts that the heatwave could persist for several more days, meaning the Chiefs will face intense heat in the north – unless there is a delay in the kick-off time.
The Glamour Boys are eager to bounce back to winning form after conceding a two-goal lead against Royal AM.
The Soweto giants scored two goals in the first half, thanks to contributions from Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Dube.
However, Ayabulela Maxwele and Levy Mashiane found the net for Royal AM, bringing the match level at 2-2 and splitting the points.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi voiced his disappointment with the result, citing a “lack of professionalism” from certain Chiefs players, which resulted in the loss of their 2-0 advantage.
To address this issue, the Tunisian coach must consider the extreme temperatures at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, conditions the Glamour Boys are likely to encounter during their upcoming match.
