Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to build on their recent victory over Richards Bay when they face Royal AM this weekend.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi and his team will be aiming to continue their positive form and secure another victory against a struggling Thwihli Thwahla outfit.
Back to winning ways
After a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Richards Bay, despite playing with ten men for a significant portion of the game, Chiefs will be aiming to secure another positive result.
However, coach Nasreddine Nabi faces a selection dilemma once again. Fullback Reeve Frosler is suspended after being sent off against Richards Bay, while Angolan defender Inacio Miguel is still serving a two-match ban.
While Msimango and Dortley formed a solid partnership in the previous match, Nabi will need to carefully consider his options to ensure a strong defensive line.
With the early pace being set by Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, Chiefs will be eager to keep up with the top contenders and secure a crucial victory against Royal AM.
Player Spotlight
Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki has confirmed that Uruguayan playmaker Gaston Sirino was unavailable for their match against Richards Bay due to an injury scare.
Ntseki had initially planned to introduce Sirino as a substitute, but the early red card to Reeve Frosler forced him to adjust his tactics.
The coach expressed opt Nimism about Sirino’s potential return to the starting lineup, hinting that the talented midfielder could be the key to unlocking Amakhosi’s full potential.
How to watch
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 17:45 on Saturday, 30 November and will be carried live on the public broadcaster’s radio stations for commentary. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport channel 202 and can also be streamed on Showmax.
New Peter Mokaba Stadium
The 46 000 seater stadium will host the clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Richards Bay. The Polokwane based stadium is expected to be filled to the rafters, as was the case when Chiefs defeated Richards Bay just earlier this week. The stadium is one of five new stadiums that were built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and hosted four Group matches during the tournament of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
