Kaizer Chiefs have won both of their opening games in the Betway Premiership so far this season, and their next encounter is against log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.

Despite the encouraging results for the Amakhosi faithful, coach Nasreddine Nabi says that what people are seeing now is just 20% of where he wants the team to eventually be.

Speaking to the media during a joint press conference with Mamelodi Sundowns at Vodaworld in Midrand ahead of their encounter on the weekend, Nabi stated that he is working on the mentality of the players.

"It's all about working on their mentality and mental strength. We see we are moving in the right direction but what you are seeing is only 20% of the work done so far. We are continuing the work and there is still a lot to be done but there is progress and that's what makes me happy," Nabi told the media.

"We want to reach 100% soon and to do that we have to work very hard together as a team and do better than last season," the Tunisian born coach observed.

Meanwhile, Nabi said that Sundowns deserve to be on top of the PSL table based on how they have been performing since the season started.

"I congratulate them for the good start. They are top of the log because they are doing well. But both teams are good teams and going into the game on Saturday it will be a good game and as a team we are looking forward to another win though we know that it won't be an easy task at all. We will go for the three points on Saturday," Nabi concluded.

The Premiership game on Saturday will be at FNB Stadium and kicks off at 15:00.
