Ramahlwe Mphahlele Says Kaizer Chiefs Are Prepared For Petro Luanda Challenge!

Ramahlwe Mphahlele Says Kaizer Chiefs Are Prepared For Petro Luanda Challenge! Amakhosi play away to the Angolan side in the CAF Champions League this evening.

The last these two sides met it was Kaizer Chiefs who won the game. They ran out convincing 2-0 winners at the FNB Stadium.

Goals came courtesy of Erick Mathoho and Happy Mashiane in his return from injury.

Mphahlele himself missed that game through suspension. Gavin Hunt was forced into 8 changes due to unavailability of players.

So, Chiefs will have more options for today. Mphahlele also concedes that playing Petro Luanda away from home is a completely different challenge.

“We have prepared adequately for the game with the players we’ve got available,” Ramahlwe Mphahlele tells the club website.

“We know it’s going to be tough because they are not the same team that we faced nine days ago in Jo’burg. By that I mean that Champions League games are different when you play at home and away.

“We watched the game between Petro and Wydad and feel that Petro were unlucky to lose by a goal to nil because they were much stronger and missed clear cut chances. They are a strong side at home, so we have to up our game and not let any complacency creep in because we beat them at FNB Stadium.

“We are looking forward to doing our best and pocketing all the three points so we can sit on 7 points in the group. We will obviously be watching what happens in the other match as this affects us.

“I’m sure they will also be watching our game with keen interest.

“We have to try hard to quality for the quarterfinals because this experience will be key for the future. We have some youngsters in the team who are lucky to be playing at this level as they will be strong enough to withstand the challenges of playing in this competition in the future.” The captain concluded.
