Kaizer Chiefs vs Free Agents Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

GOAL gives you all the details of the clash between Amakhosi and lower division side Free Agents in the Nedbank Cup last 32.

Kaizer Chiefs face a significant challenge as they welcome SAFA division side Free Agents to FNB Stadium in the opening round of the 2025 Nedbank Cup.

This marks an opportunity for Chiefs to put the disappointment of the 2024 edition behind them, where they were eliminated at this stage by Milford.

Determined to push for a trophy in the 2024-25 season, Amakhosi will aim to make amends and set the tone for a successful campaign.

After winning their last league game, they’ll look to build on that momentum and add another victory to their tally.

The club’s last success in this tournament was during the 2012-13 season under Stuart Baxter, with their most recent final appearance ending in defeat to TS Galaxy in 2018-19.

    Chiefs news & squads

    Chiefs enter this game following a morale-boosting victory over Sekhukhune United and will aim to begin their 2025 Nedbank Cup campaign on a high note.

    However, they face the challenge of starting this journey without head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is serving a suspension.

    In his absence, assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef will once again take charge from the dugout, just as he did in their recent win against Sekhukhune.

    Chiefs will look to maintain momentum and avoid an early exit in the competition.

    With a strong lineup at their disposal, they aim to set the tone for a successful tournament.

    Kaizer Chiefs possible XI: Bvuma, Frosler, Cross, Dortley, Inacio, Mthethwa, Zwane, Matlou, Shabalala, Potsane, Duba

    Free Agents team news & squads

    Amakhosi's opponents, Free Agents, compete in the SAFA Second Division in Gauteng, currently sitting in 13th place after 17 games.

    The team was established to help players without contracts stay fit and remain active by playing in township tournaments.

    Over time, they progressed to the second division and now face a massive opportunity to showcase their talent against Kaizer Chiefs.

    For these players, this clash is more than a game; it’s a chance to make a name for themselves and possibly secure professional contracts.

    With nothing to lose, Free Agents will aim to create an unforgettable upset and leave a mark on the competition.

  • Head-to-head and recent form

    In their last league game, the lower division side, Free Agents, recorded a win, and they come into this match with momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last two outings.

    Their goalkeeper, Tsebo Shabalala, has been impressive, keeping four clean sheets in 16 games, making him a key figure for the team.

    Chiefs, on the other hand, are riding high after their victory against Babina Noko but have struggled with inconsistency this season.

    They will need a solid performance against Free Agents to assert their authority and move forward in the tournament.

    With both teams bringing momentum to the clash, it promises to be an intriguing contest. It will be their first-ever meeting.
