Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi expects a challenging game against SuperSport United in the Carling Knockout Cup.

The Glamour Boys will travel to the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane for their round of 16 battle against United.

Amakhosi come into the last 16 encounter having suffered a 2-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in their previous match before the FIFA international break.

Meanwhile, Matsatsantsa conceded a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City in their previous fixture before the break.

Nabi has praised the quality of SuperSport and has warned his side to brace for a tough encounter.

“I am expecting a very challenging game. Speaking sincerely, SuperSport is a very good team,” Nabi said as per SuperSport.

“I watched them during their MTN8 game against Orlando Pirates, and they almost won that game. They had the possibility to win, except for the refereeing mistake (because) they had a penalty that was not given to them.”

Kick-off has been set for 8pm.
