Rockets wary of threat posed by improving Chilli Boys
TS Galaxy head coach Sead Ramovic has paid tribute to Chippa United counterparts Thabo September and Kwanele Kopo ahead of their Nedbank Cup quarterfinal clash at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday/
Kick-off is at 3pm CAT (SA, GMT+2).
CURRENT FORM
Ramovic has been impressed with the work done by the duo since they took over the reins from Morgan Mammila in January, losing just two of their opening nine matches at the helm.
The Chilli Boys will be buoyed by their 2-0 triumph over Kaizer Chiefs last time out which made it back-to-back wins in the DStv Premiership.
However, Chippa will face their first real test in the competition after eliminating ABC Motsepe League sides NC Pro's and Ravens FC in the opening two rounds, both by a 2-1 scoreline.
The Rockets too have enjoyed a resurgence in the second half of the season, losing only once in eight outings and picking up 13 points out of a possible 18 in the league.
Ramovic's side beat CAF Champions League hopefuls SuperSport United 1-0 most recently to record their third win on the spin and close within three points of the CAF berths in fifth place.
Galaxy dispatched top-flight rivals Golden Arrows 2-1 in the round of 32 before running out comfortable 3-0 victors against lower-league D'General FC in the previous round.
Anticipation mounts as we await the triumphant return of @BernardParker .
