Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen has explained why he believes FNB Stadium can be a fortress for Amakhosi this season.
The Soweto giants are putting in the final preparations for their second match of the season, where they will host Polokwane City at FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening.

It will be the first of three back-to-back matches that Chiefs will play at the Calabash, and Petersen believes the three fixtures present a chance to make the Nasrec-based arena a fearful trip for the opposition.
"It’s time to start turning FNB Stadium into a fortress and make teams scared to come and play us there," Petersen told journalists at the club's base in Naturena on Tuesday.
"In the past, we did not do well at the FNB, but now it’s time to change that, and what better way to do it than with three consecutive home games for us, which will start with a win against Polokwane City?

"I am excited for the game on Wednesday because we have been away for pre-season [in the Netherlands], and we played our first match of the season in Cape Town, so the team is excited about the next round of matches at home, and hopefully tomorrow we can change our fortunes at home."
The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:30
