Matlou can light up Chiefs after 'hard journey'
The Mercury
|May 02, 2025
THE importance of Kaizer Chiefs getting a positive result in tomorrow's Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates cannot be overestimated.
Granted, the big one is next weekend’s Nedbank Cup final clash between the two clubs in Durban, which will be much more tangible for the Amakhosi, given they will have a trophy to show for their efforts should they dethrone the champions.
But the value of securing three points in their home match at the FNB Stadium (3pm kick-off) would be massive for Chiefs as they look to avoid missing out on a top-eight finish two seasons in succession.
Chiefs finished 10th last season, and are currently out of the top eight spots, with less than a handful of matches to go. It’s almost win or bust for the Amakhosi, and George Matlou says as a team, they are aware of what is at stake and will be going all out to secure the three points.
Speaking to the media at the pre-match conference in Johannesburg on Thursday, the midfielder refuted suggestions they only lift their game in the big matches.
