The 120 minutes of football which Kaizer Chiefs had to go through in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals against SuperSport United on Saturday, plus the grief of losing out in a penalty shootout, should give Cape Town City an advantage tonight.
This is the view of City coach Eric Tinkler, whose well rested side welcomes third-placed Amakhosi to Cape Town Stadium tonight (7.30pm) for a crunch Absa Premiership meeting.
Tinkler has described the clash as "a must win" after the league leaders dropped points at home against fellow title rivals Bidvest Wits in a 1-1 draw last week.
"It's not easy playing 120 minutes and then going to a penalty shootout and then not getting the result. And then you have to play another big match. It's a big headache for him [Chiefs coach Steve Komphela]. He has to worry about squad selection and rotation.
