Ernst Middendorp, the Chiefs coach, is wary of AmaZulu despite having masterminded a win over Pirates last weekend.
 
"Let’s start preparing for the next game which is AmaZulu next weekend,” Middendorp said.
 
“I believe it’s crucial to handle the teams that are not in the chasing pack for the League title, knowing teams like Baroka FC, AmaZulu or Polokwane City are all fighting for their lives in terms of staying in the League."
 
Thulani Hlatshwayo in action for Wits
 
Lastly, former Absa Premiership champions Bidvest Wits will play host to Chippa United on Saturday, March 7.

The encounter is set to take place at the Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg.
 
Wits will be eager to keep their hopes of winning this season's league title alive with a victory over the Chilli Boys.

Their visitors, Chippa are keen to move further away from the relegation zone with a victory over the Clever Boys.
