Durban City FC hit the road this weekend with confidence growing as the Citizens line up for a demanding Betway Premiership clash away to Chippa United.
The Citizens head into the fixture in sixth position on the standings and unbeaten in their last two matches.
The sides last met earlier this season at Chatsworth Stadium, where Durban City secured a 1–0-win, courtesy of an 88th-minute strike from Joslin Kamatuka.
“For us, there’s no value in looking back at that game,” said defender Emmanuel Jalai. “It showed what we’re capable of and the moments that can make the difference. But now the focus is on executing the same intensity and discipline away from home.”
Durban City are determined to carry their momentum forward. Sitting sixth on the log, every match is a chance to strengthen their position and maintain intensity.
Consistent performances, both home and away, will be crucial as they chase further points in the Betway Premiership.
An away fixture against Chippa United presents a stern test. Known for their intensity and physical approach, the hosts will look to impose themselves early, meaning City will need to be switched on from the first whistle.
The pace and competitiveness of the league have been a defining feature of City’s campaign, but one the squad continues to embrace.
“It’s a tough, intense league, but that pressure helps you grow,” Jalai concluded.
Another tough test awaits, but Durban City are determined to maintain their momentum and deliver a strong performance on the road.
