DStv Premiership
Teams: Swallows FC v Kaizer Chiefs
Date: 05 October 2022
Venue: Dobsonville Stadium
Time: 19h30
Chiefs were back in action on Sunday as they came back from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw against ten-man AmaZulu in the first leg of MTN8 semi-final.
Arthur Zwane's charges find themselves in tenth spot on the table with 11 points, three points behind second-placed Richards Bay, although their goal difference is in the negative.
Chiefs will be without George Matlou due to suspension after he got a red card from the bench shortly after the final whistle against AmaZulu.
Moving to Swallows, they will be looking for a response after parting ways with head coach Dylan Kerr following a 4-0 humiliation by Golden Arrows before the recess.
Musa Nyatama has assumed coaching duties on a caretaker basis, just as he did for the first five league games while Kerr was waiting for his work permit.
The Birds have since dropped down to the bottom of the table with eight points and will be desperate to get out of the relegation zone.
Amakhosi took four points off Swallows last season, as they won 3-1 at the Dobsonville Stadium and drew the reverse fixture 2-2 on the final day of the season.
Here's how they line up:
Swallows: 50. Tshabalala, 32. Lukhubeni, 34. Sait, 5. Letlabika, 43. Zulu, 6. Mthethwa, 47. Wambi, 7. Mtshali, 26. Malinga, 25. Patjie, 3. Isaacs
Subs: 31. Mbanjwa, 33. Khupe, 28. Sasman, 18. Damons, 4. Allan, 39. Matsheke, 12. Makua, 22. Lesako
Kaizer Chiefs: 16. Khune, 39. Frosler, 4. Kwinika, 2. Dove, 23. Hlanti, 45. Blom, 8. Maart, 10. Dolly, 9. Du Preez, 14. Sekgota, 28. Bimenyimana.
Subs: 44. Bvuma, 19. Ngezana, 17. Alexander, 27. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, 6. Sithebe, 33. Radebe, 18. Solomons, 5. Mahlatsi, 37. Zwane.
