Maduka expects war against Chiefs.

Royal AM will host Kaizer Chiefs in a much anticipated Nedbank Cup quarterfinal encounter on Sunday 16 April at Chartsworth Stadium, Durban.

Matches between Thwihli Thwahla and Amakhosi are always intense affairs, and this one, considering how both these clubs would love to get their hands on the trophy, will be no different.

Perhaps, what makes it even more interesting is the fact that Chiefs are yet to beat Royal AM at Chartsworth, something Amakhosi will pull all the stops to achieve this time around, with the Nedbank Cup being their last short at winning some silverware this season.

Royal AM head coach, John Maduka, who returned to the side after an unsuccessful spell with neighbors, Maritzburg United, has managed to bring back a bit more organization and discipline tactically to Thwihli Thwahla's game, something that let them down dearly towards the beginning of the second round of the season.

The experienced mentor says he expects war against Chiefs, because of the way teams raise their game when they play Royal AM.

"This is where this makes the game very difficult. If you look at it, not only Kaizer Chiefs, all the teams that play against Royal AM, you find that this week they are playing totally different games," said Maduka during the Nedbank Cup press conference ahead of Sunday's clash.

“But when they come playing against us, it’s war. In other words, everyone wants to beat us, which we must be ready for.”   

Kick off will be at 18:00.
