What Chiefs can expect from Red Arrows

Former Jomo Cosmos and Zambian international Clifford Mulenga has outlined what Kaizer Chiefs should expect against the current Red Arrows team.
The Zambian side secured their CAF Confederations Cup spot to face the Glamour Boys after their 4-0 win over Madagascar club FC Rougue on aggregate in the first round. Chiefs received a bye in the first round.
Chiefs and Arrows will now face each other in a two-legged second-round tie in the second preliminary round to compete for a spot in the group stages.
The first leg will be played on the weekend of 16-18 October in Zambia, while the second will be played in South Africa on the weekend of 23-25 October this year.
Mulenga supports Arrows to beat Chiefs over the two-legged tie.
“This is actually a very big game with no clear favorite,” Mulenga tells KickOff, all the way from Zambia.
“Red Arrows will be more confident after coming through the first leg comfortably and without conceding a goal.
“They already have a feel of continental football. Amakhosi should expect a disciplined, confident, and determined Arrows team.

“Arrows have been one of the most consistent teams in Zambia over the last few years. They both have some good individual players but when it comes to teamwork and chemistry, I see Arrows as the better team.
“They are no pushovers. Amakhosi have hardly won anything recently. So I’m picking a winner, and I will slightly have Red Arrows as favorites over the two legs.”
