How Kaizer Chiefs can lineup against Polokwane City?

Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in a tense battle to secure a Top 8 finish this season, with only one match remaining.

The Soweto giants are currently in ninth place in the Betway Premiership, having earned just 31 points from 27 matches. They need to win their final match of the season against Polokwane City.

It has been a rollercoaster season for Nasreddine Nabi‘s team, as they have managed to win only nine league matches throughout the campaign. However, a silver lining for the team was winning the Nedbank Cup, which ended their 10-year trophy drought.

Kaizer Chiefs will definitely aim for victory on Saturday to secure a Top 8 finish. Expect Nabi to adopt an attacking strategy, which may involve sacrificing Gaston Sirino in favour of a pacey midfielder or winger.

How will Kaizer Chiefs line up for their final match of the season?

Goalkeeper

Brandon Petersen is expected to remain in goal, having started the last two matches. The 30-year-old has conceded only once in these two appearances.

Defence

The defensive lineup will likely consist of Dillan Solomons, Inacio Miguel, Edmilson Dove, and Bradley Cross. Cross is anticipated to return to action, with Dove slotting in at center-back.

Midfield

The midfield is expected to feature Yusuf Maart, Mduduzi Shabalala, and Edson Castillo. If Chiefs score early and manage to protect their lead going into halftime, Nabi might bring in Sibongiseni Mthethwa to strengthen the midfield.

Forwards

In attack, Makabi Lilepo, Wandile Duba, and Ashley Du Preez are likely to start. With Pule Mmodi suspended for the final match, Kaizer Chiefs should begin with Du Preez and shift Duba to the right wing.
