AmaZulu coach Pablo Franco Martin is confident his side can overcome Chippa United and walk away with all three points in their DStv Premiership encounter on Saturday.

Usuthu will travel to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium when they take on the Chilli Boys in their next league encounter in Gqeberha.

The Durban-based outfit now occupies 10th place on the DStv Premiership standings with 11 points after nine games, while Chippa are placed seventh on the log with 13 points from nine matches.

Martin is confident his side will end off their week with a positive result and maximum points.

“I have to say again, I don’t think it was healthy to play against Pirates today. These players are not machines even though they behaved like they are today,” AmaZulu head coach Pablo Franco Martin said.

“We will keep going. Another tough game on Saturday, no time to rest, there’s travelling in between and no time to prepare but I know this team is going to be competitive again against Chippa.

“Hopefully we can finish off the week with three points.”
