Both team's coaches agree that a win for Mamelodi Sundowns or Kaizer Chiefs in their DStv Premiership clash at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday is a “a nice-to-have, not a must-have”.
Stuart Baxter and Rulani Mokwena said such a big clash between the new-look Chiefs — tipped as potential contenders in 2021-22 despite six seasons without silverware — and four-time successive champions Sundowns can set a tone for the campaign to come.
“I think this is very early, I think everybody is trying very hard to put down these markers for everybody else,” Chiefs coach Baxter said, asked about the significance of the game from a title perspective.
