Marumo Gallants head coach Dan Malesela says its a blessing for his side to play against Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs at the Free State Stadium on Saturday.
Malesela, who was handed the reigns at the Free State-based outfit, after Dylan Kerr stepped down from the role because of the club's proposed co-coaching arrangement, said it was a blessing to play against the mighty Amakhosi as the stadium will be packed.
'I think it's a blessing. It is a good thing that we then have a stadium that will be packed for our first game just to launch ourselves and our football as Marumo Gallants, said Malesela.
Two weeks ago, Amakhosi suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to TS Galaxy in a behind-closed-doors friendly game.
Before that, they also lost by the exact score line against Tanzanian outfit Young African during the Toyota Cup tournament.
