Arrows coach Mandla Ncikazi says the big result against Chiefs will motivate the in-form newly-promoted club.
"We are bracing ourselves as Golden Arrows for a very tough encounter against a highly motivated Moroka Swallows. They've done well since their promotion and they've signed good experienced players. Their last result against Kaizer Chiefs will also give them a lot of confidence coming into this game," said Ncikazi, speaking through the club's media department.
