Kaizer Chiefs make their debut in the CAF Champions League this evening against Guinea giants Horoya AC at the FNB Stadium and coach Gavin Hunt has named his starting lineup.

Kaizer Chiefs are campaigning in their maiden CAF Champions League group stages this season and will be looking to forget their about their dreadful domestic form with a strong showing on the continent.

Gavin Hunt’s Kaizer Chiefs are without no less than 5 first team players this evening. Dumisani Zuma and Khama Billiat remain out through long-term injuries while defender Erick Mathoho who missed Chiefs’ league outing against SuperSport United last weekend is still out injured.

Right-back Kgotso Moleko is also out due to family commitments. Willard Katsande and Samir Nurkovic have both recovered from knocks and are fit to face Horoya.

It’s going to be tough – Gavin Hunt

“They will be tough, we know that. They came and did well against us here and we lost in Guinea with Wits. It will be a different game, they haven’t changed much, obviously, I’ve changed teams but we’ll worry about that later.” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Gavin Hunt said.

“There’s personal pride, team pride and club pride. I don’t want to say there’s pressure but we want to do well, as long as we have the right intent, play with intensity and our attitude is good then hopefully this will lead us with good form into the league as well.

“I think these types of games are good for us, it gives Kaizer Chiefs a totally different perspective of how football is played in other parts of Africa, it’s totally different from the PSL. The structure and players, physicality, size and everything. It’s a great avenue for us to discover and let’s see where we go.”
