Kaizer Chiefs must field a strong team to overcome Chippa United in this weekend’s Nedbank Cup Round of 16 match. Here’s an overview:

With Yusuf Maart suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, Njabulo Blom is expected to step in, especially after being a substitute in the 1-0 win over Stellenbosch. Thabo Cele, a recent signing, is likely to retain his spot. In Maart’s absence, Inacio Miguel, the Angolan central defender, should take on the captain’s role. Mduduzi Shabalala is also expected to start after coming on as a substitute against Stellenbosch.

Predicted Kaizer Chiefs starting XI vs Chippa: Bvuma; Frosler, Miguel, Dortley, Ditlhokwe; Cele, Blom; Lilepo, Shabalala, Sirino; Morris.

In other news, former Kaizer Chiefs talents are shining at TS Galaxy. The Rockets, who are currently on a 12-match unbeaten run and recently defeated Sundowns 1-0, have emerged as one of South Africa’s most improved teams. Central defender Khulumani Ndamane, only 20, has been a key player, starting 15 matches this season. His composed and mistake-free performances have earned him high praise from TS Galaxy’s manager, Adnan Beganovic, who compared his maturity to that of a player twice his age.
