Kaizer Chiefs supporters will get a chance to see the club’s new signings in action in South Africa for the first time this coming weekend.
Amakhosi have recently concluded their pre-season tour to the Netherlands, where they played against several top teams. In the five matches played, the Soweto giants won once and lost four times.
On Saturday, Nasreddine Nabi will hope to finalise a few combinations as his team clashes with Asante Kotoko of Ghana.
What time does Kaizer Chiefs play Asante Kotoko in the Toyota Cup?
The match between Amakhosi and Asante Kotoko will be played on 26 July at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. The kick-off is scheduled for 15:00, and match tickets are available online via Opentickets for R80 and in-store at Shoprite, Checkers, and uSave outlets nationwide.
How will Kaizer Chiefs lineup?
Brandon Petersen appears to be Nabi’s first-choice keeper, so expect to see him in goal.
Defenders
Miguel Inacio is set to be the new Amakhosi captain and will definitely start alongside Aden McCarthy, who impressed during pre-season. At right back, Reeve Frosler or Thabo Monyane could slot in depending on what type of game Chiefs want to play.
Bradley Cross is more likely to start ahead of Nkanyiso Shinga at left-back. Kaizer Chiefs don’t have a lot of options in that position.
Midfield
Thabo Cele and Sibongesini Mthethwa could start in the heart of midfield with Nkosingiphile Ngcobo operating in front of them. The likes of Siphesihle Ndlovu, Mduduzi Shalalala and Ethan Chislett might start on the bench.
Forwards
Makabi Lilepo will no doubt start on the right with new striker Flavio Silva predicted to start upfront. On the left wing, Kaizer Chiefs might play Pule Mmodi.
