Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News
Chiefs have tasted victory just once in six matches. They were eliminated from the Carling Knockout Cup prior to the FIFA break.
After losing 3-1 at home to Sekhukhune United, coach Nasreddine Nabi departed the club. A 1-0 loss away at Kabuscorp and a 1-1 home league draw vs Marumo Gallants followed.
Chiefs beat Kabuscorp on penalties after winning their second CAF leg 1-0 at home. A fine display saw a 1-1 draw vs AmaZulu (with 23 shots) before losing on penalties to Stellenbosch following a 0-0 draw in the Carling Knockout.
Chiefs remain without defenders Rushwin Dortley, Given Msimango and Thabiso Monyane. Lebohang Maboe is fit to make his debut in midfield.
This match comes too soon for midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu and striker Etiosa Ighodaro.
Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup
Petersen; Solomons, Kwinika, Miguel, Cross; Ngcobo, Mthethwa; Lilepo, Shabalala, Mmodi; Mayo.
Verdict
I'm backing a draw in this match. I'm tipping a 1-1 correct score bet.
