Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma has warned his side not to underestimate Motsepe Foundation Championship side Casric Stars when the two sides meet in the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup.

The Glamour Boys made their way to this stage of the competition after they claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Maritzburg United through goals by Christian Basomboli and Ashley Du Preez at the Harry Gwala Stadium on 10 February.

Casric Stars, who are currently on a 10 game unbeaten run across all competitions, progress to the round of 16 after they hammered Mkhambathi 4-0 at the Harry Gwala Stadium on 12 February.

Amakhosi have now been draw against the Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit following the conclusion of the draw at the SuperSport studios in Randburg on Wednesday evening.

Bvuma insists that his side have to be at their best against Stars as he believes they will not take it lightly against the Soweto giants.

“We know they have been doing well for themselves, as they are log leaders in the NFD,” Bvuma told his club’s official website.

“so it won’t be an easy game. But from our side, we welcome the draw and we’ll go out and do our best to make it to the next round.

“Personally, I would prefer to have been drawn against a PSL team because at least we know how they play. Now we have to play a team we don’t know much about.

“We will try and find out as much as we can about them as part of our preparation and we will also focus on putting in a good performance ourselves in order to go through,” he adds.

“It has been eight years since we won a trophy and we have been given the opportunity to go through to the next round. We know the importance of breaking this trophy drought, so everybody knows what we have to do too.”
