Confirmed Starting XIs for Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs:
Petersen; Solomons, Miguel, Kwinika, Cross; Mthethwa, Cele; Mmodi, Shabalala, Du Preez; Ighodaro

Substitutes:
Bvuma, Mako, Monyane, Msimango, Matlou, Maboe, Vilakazi, Velebayi, Da Silva

Chiefs’ selection underlines their intent, with Inacio Miguel and Zitha Kwinika forming the central defensive block, Mthethwa and Cele offering stability in midfield, and Shabalala tasked with creative duty behind in-form striker Etiosa Ighodaro.

Ashley Du Preez and Pule Mmodi add pace and width—two crucial weapons against a traditionally disciplined North African defence.

With the Soweto giants settling well under the interim technical team, and buoyed by their unbeaten run, tonight’s clash promises to be an intriguing test of Chiefs’ continental credentials.
