Kaizer Chiefs head coach Khalil Ben Youssef says his side cannot afford to make any mistakes when they come up against Zamalek SC.

The Glamour Boys got their CAF Confederation Cup group stage campaign off to a slow start after falling to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al Masry SC.

Aamkhosi will now take on the Egyptian outfit when they meet at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Saturday.

The Soweto giants will come into this fixture sitting in third place in Group D with zero points, while Zamalek are placed second on the table with three points after the first match.

“Zamalek are one of the best teams in Africa with huge experience in continental competition.

“It will be a tough game, but if we want to qualify, we cannot afford any mistakes at home. We need to win our home matches and collect more points away.

“We know our fans, we know the stadium, and we know it will be full.

“Their support means everything. I hope next weekend we’ll win and put ourselves in a better position in the group.”
