MTN8 Semi-Final Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v Bloemfontein Celtic Date: 29 August 2015 Venue: FNB Stadium Kaizer Chiefs and Bloemfontein Celtic will be vying for a spot in the MTN8 final when they lock horns in their second leg semi-final tie. The match is scheduled to get underway at 20h15. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw in the Free State, with Bernard Parker cancelling out Helder Pelembe's first half strike. Chiefs's side come into this tie on the back of a 1-1 draw with Polokwane City in an Absa Premiership encounter. Komphela has fielded the same starting line-up as he did in the side's draw with Polokwane, while Bongani Ndulula has settled for a spot on the bench. Celitc, meanwhile, secured their first win of the Absa Premiership, as they beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Vuyani Ntanga. Captain and defender, Bevan Fransman, is the only injury concern for Celtic and it remains to be seen if he will be fit for this encounter. Should the tie remain level at the end of regulation time, there will be no extra-time and the match will go straight to a penalty shootout. Steve Komphela have named an unchanged Chiefs team for the third match in a row. On the other hand Clinton Larsen has rung the changes after resting his first-choice cup team for their mid-week win against Orlando Pirates and has made ten changes to that team. Here's how they line-up: Kaizer Chiefs: Khune; Gaxa, Xulu, Mathoho, Masilela; Tshabalala, Katsande, Letsholonyane, Lebese; Parker, Mthembu Bloemfontein Celtic: Tignyemb, Buchanan Ndengane, Rikhotso, Bilankulu, Mogapi, Pelembe, Morena, Nyatama, Dube, Lamola
