Cape Town City boss Jan Olde Riekerink reckons the goals will come as his struggling Citizens prepare to host Chippa United at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.
They will have to get those goals without top scorer Kermit Erasmus, who has been ruled out with a hamstring problem.
But after two games in charge and no goals to show for it, the Dutchman is positive that his team will start finding the back of the net with the team creating chances.

Backing his coaching changes to bear fruit soon, Riekerink tells IOL:“We need to play in a structure but one that offers the ability to be creative.
“I believe in individual qualities but also playing together. We need to get the basics right first but we can work on that.
“We can concentrate on the creativity once we know the basics.”
City come into this match sitting 11th in the PSL, while Chippa are rock bottom.
But with only two points separating the two teams, skipper Thami Mkhize warns his team can take nothing for granted.

The Bafana Bafana rightback says: “For us, we’re only looking at our situation.
“We played well against Celtic and Highlands, created chances but couldn’t win the games.
“We can only take away the positives on how we played the games and are also looking forward to playing the Chilli Boys and hopefully we can get the win.
