In addition, Ndlanya looked back to the 2010/11 season, where Chiefs lost one game and drew another against Vasco Da Gama, the name under which Stellenbosch FC operated until last year, saying that the NFD club will take the same approach as the underdogs in tonight's game.
For Chiefs, it won't be an easy game. Vasco (Stellenbosch) beat them the last time that they were in the league. They will do the same and come in and work hard. The players know the nature of this game.
The match will get underway at 20:15 tonight in Athlone Stadium.
