Golden Arrows, meanwhile, will arrive in Johannesburg determined to spoil the party. Knockout football has a habit of producing surprises, but Chiefs will fancy their chances after opening the PSL season with a victory and strengthening their squad during the transfer window.
Betting Preview
There is renewed optimism around Naturena.
Fernando da Cruz enjoyed a winning start to his PSL tenure as Chiefs defeated Kruger United, while the arrivals of exciting winger Langelihle Phili and other new faces have increased competition within the squad. Confidence is building that Amakhosi can challenge for silverware this season after missing out on the MTN8 for the previous two campaigns.

Golden Arrows are never straightforward opponents.
The Durban outfit have built a reputation for being organised, disciplined and dangerous on the counter-attack. They also know what it takes to win this competition, having lifted the MTN8 trophy in 2009, and will believe they can frustrate Chiefs if they remain compact at the back.
For Chiefs, this is more than just a quarter-final. It’s an opportunity to make an early statement and continue the momentum generated by their encouraging start to the season.
