Kaizer Chiefs forward Khama Billiat is anticipating a tough game against Mamelodi Sundowns but inists the result will not determine their season.

Second place Sundowns will take on table toppers Amakhosi on Sunday and coach Pitso Mosimane has been vocal in the media during the build up to the game saying that Downs do not need to beat the Glamour Boys to win the league.

Ernst Middendorp’s chargers ran out 4-2 winners in an exhibition match against the Brazilians two weeks ago but despite that win Billiat in anticipating a difficult game.

‘Having played against them recently, we know they are not going to make it easy for us,’ Billiat told his club’s website.

‘We will go into the game with the right mindset, not getting carried away that we beat them a few weeks ago.

‘Right now, it requires a lot of hard work from us and we need to work on the details of the game, which will hopefully help us get the result we want.’

‘We always want to win every game no matter the circumstances – that’s the culture we have in the team. When you are winning, it brings you and your fans joy,’ he added.

‘We hope we have a good run for the rest of the season. It’s going to demand a lot of us. We are winning games at the moment, and we want to keep that up, which means we have to do the right things every day and in every game.

‘We need three points in every league game we play. This will put us in a better position than we were before the game.

‘This game will not determine our destiny. We are not putting ourselves under pressure because we will have equally tough games to come. We need to collect as many points as we can in these early stages.’
