Chippa United coach Lehlohonolo Seema admits it's a bit awkward to be living in the same hotel as their next opponents, Kaizer Chiefs.

The Chilli Boys and Amakhosi will lock horns in a crucial Absa Premiership tie at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday.

Chippa are in 12th position in the standings but they still need at least two points from their remaining two games to ensure they are safe from relegation, while table-topping Chiefs are level on points with title rivals Mamelodi Sundowns.

Seema has revealed that it has been a strange experience for him and his players these past few days, as they are situated in the same hotel as their upcoming opponents.

"All the teams‚ all the games we have played are big games. And of course, we all have agendas to push‚" Seema told an online press conference of the SA Football Journalists' Association.

"And of course, we are expecting a very difficult game. It's a bit awkward‚ because we stay together at the same hotel with Chiefs. And when we go to eat, we see each other‚ going to training‚ and they are coming [back].

"It's one of those games that I told the players‚ 'Look the three points against Baroka is the same as three points against Kaizer Chiefs'.

"So, for us it's just to go on with the business of the day‚ make sure that we don't lose the game.

"For this last two games if we can just go without losing a match, we stand a good chance of keeping our status.

"I just told them that they must just put the pressure away‚ enjoy the game‚ and play and do everything that we agreed on‚ because we are all fighting for the three points at the end of the day."
