Kaizer Chiefs are set for their third Premier Soccer League match this year when they host Sekhukhune United on Sunday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The Glamour Boys have been blowing hot and cold which puts them under pressure to get maximum points this weekend.
Babina Noko are currently fourth on the table with 23 points, five more than the Glamour Boys. Surely, they will be aiming at causing another major upset this weekend against the Nasreddine Nabi-led team.
Form Guide and Head-to-Head Record
Kaizer Chiefs have already lost two games out of the three Premier Soccer League outings this year. They fell against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows with the only win coming against Stellenbosch.
Sekhukhune United are on a good run; they have not lost any game this year. As a matter of fact, they have two wins and a draw which has put them fourth on the table.
In the head-to-head record, both teams have managed two wins in the last five PSL meetings with the remaining one ending in a draw.
What They Said
Despite their struggle for consistency, defender Reeve Frosler is determined to help the team deliver.
He argues the Glamour Boys can still push for the seemingly elusive PSL title, “We have to think about making a challenge this season like I said it’s one game at a time; we focus on the next game, and who knows where we could be at the end of the season,” he said ahead of the match.
“I don’t know how many games so far 12/13 games we’ve got how many games are left in the season and in the cups so let’s take it one game at a time who knows where we could be come June.”
Team News and Starting XI
Coach Nasreddien Nabi is suspended for the fixture, paving the way for his assistant Khalil Ben Youssef to take the lead.
Ashley du Preez is out alongside Edson Castillo who is set to return in the next couple of weeks. However, Gaston Sirino might make a return after his recovery. He was pictured training with the team at Naturena. Rushwin Dortley might be rested since he has been playing with an injury.
No player is suspended for Babina Noko, and with no new injuries, the technical bench is expected to field the best possible against Amakhosi.
Kaizer Chiefs Probable XI: Bvuma, Miguel, Ditlhokwe, Cross, Frosler, Mthethwa, Shabalala, Maart, Sirino, Duba, Chivaviro
