Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI against AS Simba in CAF Confederation Cup outing - Lebohang Maboe and Asanele Velebayi to start?

The Glamour Boys are set for another assignment on Sunday as they host AS Simba in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup's second preliminary round to be staged at the Dobsnville Stadium. The initial meeting at the TP Mazembe Stadium in Lubumbashi ended goalless, meaning a win of any kind for Amakhosi will send them to the Group Stage.

GOAL predicts how the Soweto giants' coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef might pick the men who will start this weekend.
