Possible Chiefs Lineup Ahead Of Big Usuthu Clash

Possible Chiefs Lineup Ahead Of Big Usuthu Clash

Njabulo Blom could start in midfield for Kaizer Chiefs against AmaZulu.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane is unlikely to make too many changes from the team which beat SuperSport United, when they take on AmaZulu in the MTN8 first leg semi-final this afternoon. 

Amakhosi came from behind to beat Matsatsantsa 2-1, thanks to a double from Burundian striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, who looks set to start upfront for the Soweto giants, with Ashley du Preez supporting him upfront. Du Preez returned from national team duty with Bafana Bafana and probably has a point to prove after wasting a couple of opportunities in the team's 1-0 victory over Botswana on Tuesday.

In goal, Zwane seems to have a solid number one in captain Itumeleng Khune, who has tons of experience to guide the Zitha Kwinika and Edmilson Dove. These two central defenders could start for the club.

In midfield, Njabulo Blom looks set to play in front of the back four, giving Siyethemba Sithebe and Yusuf Maart to get forward a bit more to create opportunities for the club's attackers.

Keagan Dolly has come off the bench a couple of times in recent weeks and Zwane could use the former Mamelodi Sundowns as someone to make an impact in the second half.

Possible line-up: Khune, Solomons, Kwinika, Dove, Hlanti, Blom, Sithebe, Maart, Du Preez, Sekgota, Bimenyimana
