Gavin Hunt Believes Kaizer Chiefs Can Finish In The Top 5!

Gavin Hunt Believes Kaizer Chiefs Can Finish In The Top 5! Amakhosi host Cape Town City in the DSTV Premiership this afternoon.

This game comes 6 days since their last match, away to Baroka FC last week Thursday. This 6-day break is the longest Chiefs have had since football resumed in January.

This is a welcome break as Chiefs will now play every 3 days until the domestic season comes to a close. Their performance in the CAF Champions League will decide how many more games they have to play.

“This is the longest break we will have till the end of the season,” Gavin Hunt tells the club website.

“The five days were more about mental recovery than training and to just give the players a little bit of a break. Now we have a final push as we will be playing every two to three days.” He adds.

Chiefs are currently two points away from the top 8 places. However, Hunt is aiming for more than a top 8 finish.

“We’ve got nine games left,” he says.

“We need to get ourselves up there into the top five. I believe we can – there’s no doubt about it.

“We need to start this Wednesday against Cape Town City. They are one of the best teams in the league, but we have to do the job.”

The last time these two sides met it was Chiefs who won 2-0 at the Cape Town Stadium. Youngsters Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Happy Mashiane scored the two early goals.

“When we played them in Cape Town in January, we got two goals up early and then we started to give the ball away,” he concludes.

“A bit of slackness and nerves set in. We won, but it was not pretty at the end.

“We need to keep trying to build on the momentum. I think from where we were, we have come around a little bit.

“We can talk all day, but results are the bottom line.”

The game kicks off at 17h00, live at the FNB Stadium. Gavin Hunt Believes Kaizer Chiefs Can Finish In The Top 5!
