Kaizer Chiefs have been given a stern warning ahead of their vital CAF Confederation Cup preliminary-round second leg against Red Arrows, as the coach of the Zambian team, Chisi Mbewe, has voiced confidence in his squad's ability to move on to the group stage.

Mbewe believes in his players' potential to complete the task, rating Red Arrows' chances of qualifying as eight out of ten. This statement serves as a clear indication to Chiefs as both teams gear up for Friday’s crucial match.

Reportedly, the Red Arrows coach is assured that his team will make it to the group stage, emphasizing that he considers their chances quite favorable.

His remarks have increased the intensity surrounding the matchup, with Chiefs needing a strong performance to overcome the advantage that the Zambian side currently holds and keep their continental aspirations alive.

For the Glamour Boys, the return leg is a chance to showcase their resolve and commitment to advancing in the tournament. They will have to display more attacking intent, ensure solid defense, and capitalize on their scoring chances.

Mbewe's assurance may also act as additional motivation for the Soweto giants, who are eager to show that the outcome is still uncertain.

With a spot in the group stage on the line, both teams are under significant pressure to perform. Red Arrows feel confident about their position, but Chiefs still have a chance to rewrite the story with a strong showing.

The key question remains whether Kaizer Chiefs can overcome Red Arrows’ advantage and prove Mbewe wrong when they face off on Friday.
