Gavin Hunt Talks Home Advantage Ahead of Durban City vs Kaizer Chiefs Clash - Diski 365

Durban City FC head coach Gavin Hunt has addressed the topic of home ground advantage ahead of his team's Betway Premiership meeting with Kaizer Chiefs at Moses Mabhida Stadium. Chiefs arrive in Durban in good form, following a 3-1 victory over AS Simba of the DRC in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round. Both teams have started the season strongly, with Chiefs fourth in the standings and Durban City fifth, separated by just one point. In a Thursday morning interview, Hunt downplayed the hype around Friday's fixture. "Every game is important. Yes, Kaizer Chiefs may be unique. They are a great club, a big club, so we are looking forward to the game," Hunt told KickOff.com. Hunt emphasized performance over expectation. "We are focused on delivering a good performance. Let's see what happens. The result will take care of itself. Kaizer Chiefs can turn things around at any moment," he said. The experienced coach acknowledged the challenge ahead given Chiefs' recent form. "They played really well on Sunday, so given our recent losses, we know we have a tough game ahead. We've lost our last two matches, so there's no way we are the favourites in this one," Hunt added. Durban City will be looking to leverage their home advantage and bounce back from recent setbacks, while Chiefs aim to continue their momentum in both the Premiership and continental competition. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:30 at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
