POTENTIAL KAIZER CHIEFS XI UNDER NASREDDINE NABI

Nabi is a proponent of the 4-2-3-1, a formation Chiefs fans know well having seen Arthur Zwane employ it for the majority of the 2022-23 campaign. Does that mean we’ll see a similar starting XI? Not necessarily.

4-2-3-1: Petersen; Frosler, Ditlhokwe, Msimango, Dove; Zwane, Maart; Shabalala, Mdantsane, Dolly; Du Preez

Chiefs could be a more free-flowing unit under Nabi

Naby’s Yanga side scored 84 goals from 35 matches last term, a healthy return, and we could expect a more attack-minded 4-2-3-1 with ball-players in the middle of the park. That could be good news for Samkelo Zwane. Could Amakhosi line up like this? With Siyabonga Ngezana surprisingly being sold, the right-back slot will be a fight between Dillan Solomons and Reeve Frosler. Ashley Du Preez has shown he has the ingredients to lead the line too.
