Kaizer Chiefs starting XI Prediction: DStv Premiership vs Royal AM

A depleted Kaizer Chiefs will set out to achieve revenge over Royal AM when they make the trip to Durban to face Shauwn Mkhize’s charges.

A home loss to Royal AM back in September was a wake-up call that spurred Kaizer Chiefs to kickstart their season, however, they remain off the pace.

Here we try to predict the Kaizer Chiefs starting XI for their match against Royal AM on Sunday 19 December 2021.

Kaizer Chiefs starting XI prediction

Daniel Akpeyi has managed to avoid the dread virus and stands to cement himself as the Kaizer Chiefs first-choice goalkeeper as a result.

Sibusiso Mabiliso came off the bench against Sekhukhune United, however, given the staff available we expect him to start at left back.

Over at right back Reeve Frosler‘s experience and energy will be a huge boost.

The centre back pairing of Eric Mathoho and Daniel Cardoso has been favoured by both Stuart Baxter and Arthur Zwane and the pair should be reunited.

Njabulo Ngcobo is fit again and likely to be asked to play as a DM once again alongside deep-lying playmaker Phathutshedzo Nange.

With young attackers around him, Bernard Parker will tuck in behind the front three where his experience will prove valuable.

Leonardo Castro should lead the line once again but indications are that Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly are not ready to start.

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo‘s goal in midweek should be enough to earn him another start. Kgaogelo Sekgota could be out on the other wing.

Daniel Akpeyi. Sibusiso Mabiliso. Eric Mathoho. Daniel Cardoso. Reeve Frosler. Phathutshedzo Nange. Njabulo Ngcobo. Bernard Parker. Kgaogelo Sekgota. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo. Leonardo Castro.
