Kaizer Chiefs will be desperate to maintain a winning streak that has driven them up to sixth in the DStv Premiership.

Chiefs have recorded single-goal victories in their last two outings with Bernard Parker recovering his goal-scoring mojo to threaten the club’s all-time record.

Here we try to predict the Kaizer Chiefs starting XI for their match against Amazulu on Wednesday 24 November 2021.

Kaizer Chiefs starting XI prediction

Daniel Akpeyi kept his third clean sheet of the season last time out and should start the midweek clash against Usuthu.

Ramahlwe Mphahlele made his return from injury against Maritzburg United on the weekend and held up well. He should be the starting wingback on Kaizer Chiefs left.

On the right we expect Reeve Frosler to take up a mostly offensive role with three central defenders expected to play.

The trio of Eric MathohoNjabulo Ngcobo and Daniel Cardoso have proven rock solid and should start as the back three.

Phathutshedzo Nange and Cole Alexander have proven to be Stuart Baxter favourites and its hard to see a scenario where they aren’t the central midfield combiantion.

Kaizer Chiefs haven’t been red-hot in front of goal but Keagan DollyKhama Billiat and Bernard Parker have been getting the job done and should retain their places.
