Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to continue their winning ways when they meet Chippa United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening.
Fourth-placed Amakhosi trail Mamelodi Sundowns by just two points and a win against the Chilli Boys could see them move to the top of the DStv Premiership standings depending on the result between Richards Bay and Maritzburg United earlier in the day.
Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana netted a hat-trick from the penalty spot in the 3-1 win against Stellenbosch FC in Chiefs’ last league game and coach Arthur Zwane will be pin his hopes on the Burundian striker to deliver a win for the Glamour Boys.
“You saw today he keeps it simple as a striker. He just wants to play the ball out wide, protect the ball, play those one-twos,” Zwane said of the Burundian as quoted by SuperSport.
“He’s also a skilful player. He’s not just a tall boy. And he’s quick for his structure. We’ve always wanted a player who can release players like Ash [Ashley du Preez].
“He freed Ash so that the ball-carrier at that time could pick one of the two of them. That’s why Ashley was free twice, because Caleb will attract defenders. He’s also clever on the ball. He’s not just a striker waiting for the crosses.”
The Chilli Boys were last in competitive action a month ago when they beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to make it back-to-back wins in the league.
