Gabriel banking on past triumph as Richards Bay eye Chiefs upset
New signing Gabadinho Mhango will be tasked with leading the Richards Bay attack as they chase a first win of the season against Kaizer Chiefs. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix Richards Bay coach Ronnie Gabriel believes past success against Kaizer Chiefs could inspire his side when the two teams clash at FNB Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Natal Rich Boyz face Amakhosi at the FNB Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 7.30pm. It comes at a time when Gabriel's men are in desperate need of a turnaround, having stumbled out of the blocks in the new Betway Premiership campaign with consecutive defeats. They opened with a 2-1 loss away to Marumo Gallants and followed that with a 1-0 defeat to Golden Arrows in the KwaZulu-Natal derby.

Amakhosi opened their season with a hard-fought 2-1 win away at Stellenbosch before edging Polokwane City 1-0 at home. Two wins from two have restored belief that Chiefs could finally mount a sustained push for honours. For Gabriel and his team, the trip to Naturena's giant home ground represents both danger and opportunity. The odds are stacked against them, but the coach insists Richards Bay will draw motivation from their most recent meeting with Chiefs. That fixture, played at the King Zwelithini Stadium last season, ended in a famous 2-0 victory for the Natal Rich Boyz. 'Chiefs away from home is always a tough fixture, it's always a big fixture, and we will have to prepare well,' said Gabriel. 'I think we have to look back at our last season's performance against Chiefs, bring back those feelings, those memories, and believe that we can go there and beat Chiefs. I think in the last fixture, we beat Chiefs here at home. According to you guys the Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach just decided to wake up and lie about needing to prepare for the low block the team will come up against when they play Richards Bay.

Chiefs' Cele believes winning at home will bring back the fans
'With good performances and good results we can create a crazy atmosphere,' said the Chiefs midfielder. Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Thabo Cele believes good performances at home will help create an intimidating atmosphere for opponents inside FNB Stadium. ALSO READ: Ex-Sundowns star on Chiefs' radar Chiefs play a second consecutive Betway Premiership match at their giant home stadium today when they take on Richards Bay. Chiefs' two in a row Amakhosi managed a 1-0 win over Polokwane City a week ago, Siphesihle Ndlovu's late goal making sure Chiefs have started the 2025/26 Premiership campaign with two wins. The size of FNB Stadium means Chiefs struggle to pack out the venue, except when they take on Orlando Pirates and sometimes Mamelodi Sundowns. But Cele believes more victories will bring more fans. 'It is important for a team like us to win at home,' he said yesterday. 'We need to improve numbers at the stadium because the FNB Stadium is huge. With good performances and good results we can create a crazy atmosphere. We want teams to feel that in our home games.' There was also concern about the pitch at FNB Stadium ahead of the new season. But a new surface has been laid and Cele is happy with what he has seen. 'It is better, when you pass on the floor, it is smooth,' he added. 'You can feel the sand and the mixture of the artificial pitch they have tried to put in. It is making it a flatter pitch.' Richards Bay have lost all three of their games so far this season – a 4-0 hammering by Sundowns in the MTN8 quarterfinals was followed by losses to Golden Arrows and Marumo Gallants in the Premiership. Chiefs have had a good start to the campaign, but they won their first two Premiership games last season, and still finished ninth in the table. Cele, who joined Amakhosi in January, is well aware they need to maintain their focus. 'It is one of the things we have discussed among ourselves, even in the pre-season,' he said. 'Complacency is our enemy' 'Complacency is our enemy, it is an opportunity for us to get maximum points like any other. It will be a very interesting game and it will be difficult, but I think we are ready for it.' Chiefs assistant coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze will take charge of the team again today in the continued absence of head coach Nasreddine Nabi. Nabi is back home in Tunisia after his wife suffered a serious road accident. Ben Youssef, meanwhile, was unable to say whether new signings Ethan Chislett, Flavio Da Silva and Nkanyiso Shinga will have their papers in time to face Richards Bay.

Did Kaizer Chiefs just found their new GOAT?
Kaizer Chiefs have found a solid defender in Aden McCarthy after the youngster earned himself a place in the starting eleven. In the two matches Amakhosi played, the 23-year-old centre-back earned back-to-back Man of the Match awards. The team has won their opening two games so far and currently top the Betway Premiership. Ex-Kaizer Chiefs defender Morgan Gould has praised McCarthy for taking his opportunity and cementing his place in the starting eleven. 'Aden McCarthy is the epitome of patience; delay is not denial. He has been patient and waiting for his opportunity,' Gould told FARPost . 'He's yet to unleash the Aden that we'll all love watching, and I just give his parents credit because he comes from a footballing background and was born out of Chiefs,' he added. 'Everyone in the family stuck with him when people were saying Aden must go, and the patience is paying off. He is a player of note; not only is he the son of Fabian McCarthy, but he is a great player in his own right,' Gould added. 'I'm impressed with how he's taking the pressure of playing for Kaizer Chiefs; all eyes are on him, but he's a humble human being.' Kaizer Chiefs will play their next match against Richards Bay on Tuesday evening. Kick off is for 19:30 at the FNB Stadium. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
