With injuries to key defenders like Msimango, Dortley, and Inacio Miguel, Nabi will be forced to rely on a patched-up defense, pairing Zitha Kwinika with Bradley Cross. Full-backs Dillan Solomons and Happy Mashiane will be tasked with covering their respective sides, though both have faced challenges in recent games.
