Stuart Baxter Does Not Consider TS Galaxy to Be Bogey Team! Amakhosi face The Rockets in the league tonight.
Kaizer Chiefs will host TS Galaxy in the DSTV Premiership tonight. Head coach Stuart Baxter does not want to dwell too much into the past ahead of this encounter.
This is because of the history the visitors have against the hosts. Amakhosi have failed to beat The Rockets since they came up into the top division.
TS Galaxy have recorded two previous wins against Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup, with the most recent being this season, as they eliminated the Soweto Giants in the first round at the FNB Stadium.
Baxter does not want to focus on these past results as he has his eyes set on victory tonight.
“It will be easy to start saying ‘bogey team’ but every match has its own life unless you allow history to sway it.” Baxter told the Kaizer Chiefs website.
“So, this match will have its own life, so it’s up to us to ensure its one that we like and not one we don’t like. The boys are in good shape.
“They are very, very wound up for the game. We tucked in the formation slightly and we will try and make this as unpleasant as we can.” He added.
The visitors were thumped 4-1 on their own ground by Royal AM in their last fixture. They are coming into this match wounded from that heavy defeat.
“Their mentality will be ‘we’ve done it before; we’ve come there and won’. But they’ve just been caned in the league, so we think there will be a hint of trepidation in their approach to the game.
“It’s up to us to make sure their worst fears are realized and not their wildest dreams.” Baxter lamented.
Kick-off at the FNB Stadium is at 19h30. Stuart Baxter Does Not Consider TS Galaxy to Be Bogey Team!
