Former Kaizer Chiefs full-back Isaac Mabotsa anticipates a challenging match for the team against Muhsin Ertugral's Cape Town City.
Ertugral, newly appointed as technical director, will serve in the capacity of head coach until the end of the season at the Citizens, and will face one of his former clubs Chiefs, in his first match at the DHL Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.
Currently, Cape Town City are in 12th place on the log table, with only three wins in ten league matches.

Mabotsa, who received his first taste of PSL football under Ertugral at Chiefs, believes that the coach's fast-paced style of play will test the sometimes sluggish approach of Nasredine Nabi's side.
"To be honest, coach Muhsin has been away for too long, but facing his former club will definitely motivate him," Mabotsa told KickOff.
"I am who I am today because of Muhsin Ertugral. It's going to be a tough match because he understands the culture of Kaizer Chiefs." Mabotsa added.

"Kaizer Chiefs also need the points, so this match will be a significant test for Nasredine Nabi. Muhsin knows the Chiefs culture, and he will relish this opportunity to compete against them; he is going to transform the entire team. You will see a different Cape Town City under Muhsin because he will give the youngsters a chance.
"While sitting on the sidelines, Muhsin has been observing Chiefs games, so he is familiar with every team in the PSL. I expect the match to end in a draw if Chiefs can't secure a victory. I hope Chiefs win, but it will be tough. However, I believe there will be goals in the match." he concluded.
