Kaizer Chiefs face Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg this weekend and coming into some good form. How will Molefi Ntseki set out his stall?

Likely Kaizer Chiefs XI vs Sundowns

Petersen; Frosler, Msimango, Ditlhokwe, Hlanti; Maart, Castillo, Mdantsane; Saile, Du Preez, Mmodi.

Pule Mmodi’s form in front of goal makes him undroppable on the left-hand side of the Chiefs attack. Christian Saile’s impressive cameo at Stellenbosch could see him called into the starting XI at the expense of Tebogo Potsane. In defence, Sifiso Hlanti should return with Reeve Frosler switching back to his favoured right-back slot.

Main man Mmodi

Pule Mmodi had to endure a few difficult weeks at the start of his Kaizer Chiefs career following the death of his mother. He’s now firmly part of the furniture and starting games on a regular basis. The former Golden Arrows man has scored three goals in his last two outings, a great return for a player expected to deliver the goods for the Glamour Boys.
