Kaizer Chiefs are looking to reinforce their defensive ranks so they can make a push for the title next season.
Best Chiefs XI for next season if two new defenders arrive?
Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with several new defenders, most recently, Portugal-based 25-year-old Mhleli Mabuza. Could he walk into the side if he signs?
Bvuma; Mabuza, Moloisane, Miguel, Dortley; Ngcobo, Ndlovu; Duba, Shabalala, Vilakazi; Lilepo
Tactical tweaks on the cards
Is it time for Chiefs to play central player Rushwin Dortley in a full-back role for him to invert and make the side more compact? That is, if he returns to full fitness in time for the start of the campaign? A focus on youth in the front four would see Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi all fly the flag for the youth academy. Ahead of them, the increasingly impressive Glody Lilepo looks the part up top. The 28-year-old, who was signed primarily as a right winger, has three goals and two assists in the league this term. It’s not the most prolific return, but with the support of a youthful attacking midfield trio, he’s a decent short-term option. Duba and Vilakazi scored against Magesi, Lilepo claimed an assist, and Lilepo was the only goal-scorer against Durban City.
Chiefs aim for four wins from four
Meanwhile, the Glamour Boys are in fine form, winning three consecutive league matches against Durban City, Magesi and Orbit College, where Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala and Siphesihle Ndlovu were on the score sheet as Chiefs came from behind. Next up is a home clash with TS Galaxy on Sunday, 12 April, with kickoff at 15:00. The match will be shown on DStv channel 202.
