Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz has shared an important update ahead of his team's upcoming CAF Confederation Cup clash against Red Arrows, expressing confidence in his squad as they prepare for a challenging away fixture in Zambia.

The Soweto giants are looking to secure a positive result against the Zambian side as they continue their continental campaign. Da Cruz understands that his players will face a difficult test, but he believes they have the quality and determination to compete.

The Chiefs coach has also acknowledged the strength of their opponents, warning that Red Arrows have talented players and can cause problems through their attacking approach.

"It is a strong team with strong players," Da Cruz said.

"They play offensive transition. They play long ball as well."

His comments indicate that Chiefs must remain organised throughout the match, particularly when dealing with quick attacking transitions and long passes from their opponents. Maintaining defensive discipline and taking advantage of scoring opportunities could be crucial to their chances of securing a favourable result.

Da Cruz also admitted that his team does not have a clear understanding of the conditions they will encounter in Zambia. However, the uncertainty has not changed his determination to guide Chiefs to a positive outcome.

"About the conditions, we don't know very well about the conditions, but maybe the conditions will not be good," he explained.

Despite the possible challenges, the Chiefs coach remains confident in the players available to him. He believes the squad can rise to the occasion and deliver a performance that will put the team in a positive mood ahead of their next match at home.

"But we are going to Zambia to have a good result and come back with a good result and to be in a positive mood for the game at home," Da Cruz added.

"We have confidence in our squad."

The coach's comments will provide encouragement to Chiefs supporters as the team prepares for another important assignment. A positive result against Red Arrows would give Amakhosi a valuable boost as they pursue their ambitions in the CAF Confederation Cup.

The match also comes at an important time for the club, with several demanding fixtures approaching on the domestic calendar.

Chiefs are scheduled to face their Soweto rivals, Orlando Pirates, on October 31. The derby is one of the biggest matches in South African football and will place further pressure on the team to maintain good form.

However, Da Cruz's immediate priority is the encounter against Red Arrows. Chiefs will need to approach the match with concentration, discipline and confidence if they are to achieve their objective in Zambia.

The coach's message is clear: despite the potential difficulties, he believes in his squad and expects the players to fight for a positive result.
