Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela and his Mamelodi Sundowns counterpart Pitso Mosimane sparred with each other over the unwanted underdog tag at their prematch media conference on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s Premiership match-up. On Wednesday, Mosimane‚ winning the PSL’s coach of the month award for February‚ had declared Chiefs favourites for the crucial fixture at FNB Stadium. He was at it again sitting alongside his Chiefs counterpart Komphela at a media conference in Houghton‚ though Mosimane did have a little more than the normal glint in his eye while he said: "We are the underdogs at this point in time. "Because Kaizer Chiefs have been doing better than us in the league. If you check the last seven or eight games‚ they have not lost. There was a stage where they won five in a row. "And we envy them and wish we could win five in a row too. And they have drawn three recently‚ but we have drawn two and lost one. So we are not in a very good space at the moment.
