Johannesburg – The ongoing heatwave may present difficulties for Kaizer Chiefs as they travel to Limpopo to battle Polokwane City in a Betway Premiership clash at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
The match is scheduled to commence at 15:30.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) predicts that the heatwave could persist for several days, potentially leaving the Chiefs to contend with sweltering conditions in the north – unless the kick-off time is postponed.
The Glamour Boys are keen to bounce back to form after squandering a two-goal lead against Royal AM.
The Soweto giants scored twice in the first half, thanks to efforts from Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Dube.
Nevertheless, Ayabulela Maxwele and Levy Mashiane equalized for Royal AM, resulting in a 2-2 draw and a split of the points.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi voiced his frustration with the result, citing a “lack of professionalism” displayed by certain Chiefs players, which contributed to the loss of their 2-0 advantage.
To correct this oversight, the Tunisian coach must consider the extreme temperatures at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, which the Glamour Boys will likely face during their upcoming match.
