Kaizer Chiefs have returned to winning ways. However, there’s no rest for the wicked as the action comes thick and fast.
Chiefs are up against Orbit College in midweek.
Here’s all you need to know.
Kaizer Chiefs chalk up a fifth win
Chiefs beat old boss Gavin Hunt’s Durban City side 1-0 on Friday, thanks to a late strike from Flavio Silva. It’s Chiefs’ fifth win of the league campaign and keeps them in the mix of the title race, for now. Dillan Solomons, Inacio Miguel, Aden McCarthy and Bradley Cross formed the back four with Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Sibongiseni Mthethwa ahead of them. Gaston Sirino’s assist off the bench was his first of the campaign. With Miguel picking up a booking, he’s suspended for Chiefs’ next game, so another enforced change is looming. Rushwin Dortley and Given Msimango are still injured, so this is hardly ideal. Their next assignment is on Tuesday, 4 November against Orbit College. Kickoff is at 19:30.
Predicted Kaizer Chiefs XI vs Orbit
Petersen; Solomons, Kwinika, McCarthy, Cross; Cele, Mthethwa; Sirino, Shabalala, Lilepo; Silva.
Big changes will take some time to deliver results
Petersen returned against Siwelele, wearing the captain’s armband. Aden McCarthy came in at left back, Thabo Cele displaced Ngcobo in midfield, while Mfundo Vilakazi, Wandile Duba and Etiosa Ighodaro came into yet another brand new attacking combination alongside Mdu Shabalala. Another 0-0 stalemate. Chiefs need to settle on some style of system and starting XI. Until then, they can’t be surprised by their incoherent displays and inconsistent results.
