  • Bruce Bvuma, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    GOALKEEPER: Bruce Bvuma

    The 29-year-old has been under heavy scrutiny for inconsistent displays in goal.

    However, he is better off as opposed to Brandon Petersen and Fiacre Ntwari.

  • Dillan Solomons, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    RIGHT-BACK: Dillan Solomons

    He showed his brilliance with an assist for Glody Lilepo's goal in the most recent Soweto derby.

    Solomons has been solid defensively and should keep his place.

  • Edmilson Dove, Kaizer Chiefs

    LEFT-BACK: Edmilson Dove

    Bradley Cross had a solid game against Bucs in the PSL but was, unfortunately, sent off.

    Dove is expected to replace him at left-back.

  • Inacio Miguel, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Inacio Miguel

    The Angola international is fit again to start on Saturday after starting from the bench against Marumo Gallants and Bucs, respectively, in the PSL.

  •  Zitha Kwinika, Kaizer Chiefs, April 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Zitha Kwinika

    With Dove shifting to left-back, Kwinika should partner Miguel at the heart of Amakhosi's defence.

  • Yusuf Maart, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Yusuf Maart

    Despite consistent complaints from the fans about their captain's varying displays, Nabi has always stuck with the versatile midfielder.

  • Thabo Cele, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Thabo Cele

    Just like Miguel, Cele has been starting from the bench in the last two games.

    However, the Bafana Bafana international is fit again to partner Maart.

  • Gaston Sirino, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Gaston Sirino

    He is one of the most experienced players at Chiefs.

    Mduduzi Shabalala's recent blunders might see the former Mamelodi Sundowns player start.

  • Wandile Duba, Kaizer Chiefs, 2025Backpage

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Wandile Duba

    Duba missed the initial Soweto derby owing to suspension.

    The 20-year-old is fit again to start from the right wing.

  • Pule Mmodi and Tapelo Xoki, Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando PiratesBackpage

    LEFT ATTACKER: Pule Mmodi

    Mmodi has three goals in the competition and has been a threat throughout. The chances of starting on Saturday are high.

  • Glody Lilepo, Kaizer Chiefs, March 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Glody Lilepo

    The Congolese was decent in the last Soweto Derby, scoring in a 2-1 loss, and looked dangerous throughout.

    He is odds on to start ahead of misfiring Tashreeq Morris and Ranga Chivaviro.
