Hunt reveals 'distabalising' factor ahead of crucial Chiefs clash

Head coach Gavin Hunt has reveals a 'destabilising' factor for SuperSport United  as they prepare to take on Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

Despite a forced relocation from Lucas Moripe Stadium to TUT Stadium mid-season due the venue failing to meet Premier Soccer League (PSL) standards, Matsatsantsa go into Saturday's fixture against Chiefs boasting an impressive record of nine wins at home.

"We deserve a medal for that," Hunt jokingly told journalists on Saturday.

It was very disappointing [to leave Lucas Moripe stadium] because we have had a lot of success at Lucas, now you get kicked-out of there.

"Okay we got seven out of nine [points] at another venue, which is fantastic, but it's not the same. I don't even have a chair to sit on at the new stadium. So it's something that we need to do our best to try and get that back, staying in one place.

The two teams will meet at the Roya Bafokeng Stadium, both still with hopes of securing continental football next season.

"We should have played Chiefs at Lucas Moripe on Saturday, in my opinion but it is what it is. It's very destabilising. It's okay if you are a big club like Chiefs, [Orlando] Pirates or [Mamelodi] Sundowns," Hunt added.

"You take people with you because you're the home team wherever you go anyways, but a team like us, we need to be comfortable in our environment and now we move, we move again, it's not easy."

Meanwhile, Chiefs go into the clash aiming to get back to winning ways after finding themselves on the losing side in their last two matches.

Kick-off is at 15:00.
