The match will take place tonight at the traditionally intimidating Thohoyandou Stadium, and with fans now allowed back into stadiums, should see a buzzing atmosphere.

It is an intriguing battle between GladAfrica Championship side TTM and a depleted SuperSport, who are short on attacking options.

According to SuperSport, Manzini said:

“Our intentions are to make our supporters happy, since they are coming back to stadiums and we expect to win. I don’t think we are going to penalties. I think we will wrap it up in 90 minutes.
We are not going to think that they are a Premiership team because we have experienced guys with young players as well. We are very prepared, even at training, you could see everyone is pushing, so we are well prepared.”

The experienced Manzini has eight goals in all competitions this season, including two in the Nedbank Cup.

He was part of the ‘other TTM’ (later renamed Marumo Gallants) last season, which would go on to lift the trophy. However, he had left the team by the time it reached the final.

Kaizer Chiefs looking to raise R20 million from offloading players at the end of the season

Kaizer Chiefs stands to raise around R20 million for its transfer war chest ahead of the 2022/23 season.

As reported in Sports Brief, after last winning a trophy in 2015, various members are expected to be offloaded at the end of the season in May by the Amakhosi.

This would help the club greatly when it goes on a recruitment drive in trying to cure the seven-year-long itch for silverware.
