Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News
Chiefs are winless in six league matches and languish outside the top eight. After this league fixture, they face Orlando Pirates in a cup final as they look to end a 10-year trophy drought.
After successive losses, Chiefs drew 1-1 at home to TS Galaxy. A late offside winner saw them beat Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup semi-final.
A 0-0 draw at Chippa United saw 62% possession but just 0.95 xG produced. Their last match brought a 2-1 home loss to Marumo Gallants with a paltry 0.67 xG for Amakhosi.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi is without Rushwin Dortley in defence but three other defenders could return. Reeve Frosler, Edmilson Dove and Given Msimango are nearing a return.
Speedy forward Wandile Duba is suspended for this match. Centre back Inacio Miguel could be rested as he is one caution from missing the Nedbank Cup final.
Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup
Bvuma; Solomons, Msimango, Dove, Cross; Maart, Cele; Lilepo, Sirino, Mmodi; Du Preez.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have lost their last two matches to end their hopes of a quadruple. They excited the CAF Champions League and fell 12 points off Mamelodi Sundowns in the title race.
Bucs beat MC Alger 1-0 on aggregate in the CAF quarter-finals before a 1-0 home win vs Marumo Gallants to reach the Nedbank Cup final. A 0-0 home draw followed by Pyramids in their CAF semi.
The second leg in Cairo ended in a 3-2 defeat. In midweek, their title hopes were dented by a 1-0 defeat at home to Sekhukhune United.
Coach Jose Riveiro is without Nkosinathi Sibisi in defence due to suspension. Olisa Ndah and Thabiso Sesane are also ruled out so Tapelo Xoki will start.
Deano Van Rooyen, Makhehlene Makhaula and Patrick Maswanganyi are set to return to the XI.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Van Rooyen, Xoki, Mbokazi, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.
Verdict
I'm backing Pirates to win the match with a clean sheet.
