Absa Premiership
Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v AmaZulu
Date: 22 September 2018
Venue: FNB Stadium
Kaizer Chiefs will be aiming for a third straight win in the Absa Premiership when they host AmaZulu at the FNB Stadium this evening.
Amakhosi have been in good form after the international break having won their last two matches in the league.
In pursuit of their third straight league win, coach Giovanni Solinas will have many observers scratching their heads in trying to predict his line-up after he made seven changes in their 2-0 away win over Free State Stars on Tuesday.
Chiefs will be once again be without the services of striker Leonardo Castro, who is nursing a ankle injury.
On the other hand, Usuthu produced a spirited performance to draw 3-3 with Mamelodi Sundowns in their last league outing last Sunday in Durban.
Cavin Johnson’s charges will be encouraged by that performance coming up against in-form Amakhosi.
The KwaZulu-Natal are currently placed ninth on the table with seven points from five matches.
When the two sides met last season in the league they played to two goalless draws in their respective home and away fixtures.
Here's how they line up:
Chiefs: 32. Khune, 2. Mphahlele, 30. Ngezana, 4. Cardoso, 29, Walusimbi, 13. Katsande, 10. Ntshangase, 21. Manyama, 11.Billiat, 28. Zuma, 25. Parker.
