Royal AM clinched their third consecutive win over Chiefs with a 1-0 victory at Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday.
The KwaZulu-Natal club have employed an experienced trio of coaches with Dan Malesela and Khabo Zondo in charge.
"Royal AM were amazing in the Premier's Cup, and did well again over the weekend," Zulu tells KickOff.
"Chiefs this season are going to surprise a lot of people, with their fast football.
"Coach Dan always gives Chiefs a tough time, whether he coaches Chippa United or whatever it's the same.
"Teams that are focused too much on tactics and stuff, Malesela dismantles them very easily."
