Chicken Inn players might want to rely on their teammate, Obadiah Tarumbwa, for information on their opponents, Mamelodi Sundowns, for their game this weekend.

The Zimbabwean side will be hosting Sundowns in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League on Saturday. The former University of Pretoria midfielder is on the Zimbabwean club's books.
Tarumbwa is probably one player that has more knowledge about Sundowns from the Zimbabwean Premier League outfit. The 30-year-old came up against Sundowns, during his time with Tuks in the 2013/14 season.
His countrymen Cuthbert Malajila and Khama Billiat, as well as Rodney Ramagalela scored one goal each in that game, as Downs beat Tuks 3-1 that day.
Reports from Zimbabwe indicate that Tarumbwa and his team have been alerted to the threat that can be caused by Billiat and his on-form teammates, including Leonardo Castro and Keagan Dolly (CBD).
"It is a big concern that Sundowns are like a house on fire playing consistently and they have a very good squad. We just have to knuckle down and try and close their supply lines and try and be strong in defence. Not only in defence, but strong as a unit," Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas has been quoted as saying by NewsDay.

"It's good to play a team like Sundowns, it gives the guys more energy to do well. Since Sundowns are top of the log in SA and are doing very well, so as a player you get yourself psyched up to try and do well in that game, so I believe mentally we are okay. Where we are suffering is game time and physical preparedness," Antipas told Zimbabwean media.
