Wydad have no injuries or suspensions to deal with. Coach Faouzi Benzarti is expected to use Walid El Karti as a number ten in preference to Aymane El Hassouni.

Winger Simon Msuva may be on the bench again despite four goals as a substitute this season.

Kaizer Chiefs Form

Chiefs will have gone 13 days without playing ahead of this clash having ended the PSL season in eighth place. They reached this stage after a 4-0 win and 3-0 defeat to Simba SC in the quarter-final to progress 4-3 on aggregate.

That 4-0 victory came in the middle of a run of one win in seven matches with four defeats which saw coach Gavin Hunt sacked. A 3-2 win against Golden Arrows came under caretaker coach Arthur Zwane as Lebogang Manyama scored a hattrick.

In their last match, Chiefs won 1-0 at TS Galaxy as Samir Nurkovic scored the winner after 26 minutes. That win secured a top eight finish for the club.
