Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI against Polokwane City - Double champion Mfundo Vilakazi to start ahead of Gaston Sirino?

Kaizer Chiefs will conclude the season with a Premier Soccer League game against Polokwane City on Saturday at the FNB Stadium.

This is a high-stakes game, as Chiefs hope to win and grab a slot in the top eight bracket, and a loss to Polokwane City might see them drop out of the top eight.

Although they have struggled in the league campaign, the Glamour Boys' main wish would be to win at home as they bid farewell to their fans, at least until next season.

Amakhosi were held to a 1-1 draw by Sekhukhune United in their last game, a result that saw them fail to break into the top eight.

Here, GOAL takes a look at how coach Nabi could line up his charges for the season-concluding game at the FNB Stadium.

  • Brandon Petersen, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    GOALKEEPER: Brandon Petersen

    He was in charge of goal during the successful Nedbank Cup assignment against Orlando Pirates.

    He kept his place during the match against Sekhukhune United, and the same is expected when they take on Polokwane City.

  • Dillan Solomons, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    RIGHT-BACK: Dillan Solomons

    The speedy full-back remains Amakhosi's first-choice right-back with Reeve Frisler out injured.

  • Aden McCarthy, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    LEFT-BACK: Aden McCarthy

    The youngster was handed his Chiefs senior debut against Sekhukhune United and he did not disappoint.

    Nabi gave the son of the club's legend, Fabian McCarthy, a chance, as Bradley Cross was suspended. Given his performance, the 2003-born defender should play again ahead of Happy Mashiane.

  • Edmilson Dove, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Edmilson Dove

    Given Msimango and Rushwin Dortley remain sidelined, that means Dove will be depended on to man the heart of defence line.

  • Zitha Kwinika, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Zitha Kwinika

    With injuries that have rocked the Chiefs' defence department, Nabi has been falling back on Kwinika.

    The 31-year-old has fared really well when he plays.

  • Yusuf Maart, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Yusuf Maart

    The cup-winning captain will have another chance to try and perform better in order to silence his doubters once again.

  • Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Nkosingiphile Ngcobo

    Thabo Cele was not in the matchday squad for the last game, and Ngcobo was partnered in midfield with Maart.

    Can Nabi trust him one more time?

  • Gaston Sirino, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Gaston Sirino

    He played for only 46 minutes against Sekhukhune before he was withdrawn.

    But given his experience, Sirino's services will be needed as Amakhosi hunt for crucial points and start ahead of U20 Afcon and Nedbank Cup champion Mfundo Vilakazi.

  • Wandile Duba, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Wandile Duba

    One of the shining stars in an otherwise disappointing season for Chiefs.

    The 20-year-old has five goals and is always a threat in the final third, especially when he attacks from the right.

  • Mduduzi Shabalala, Kaizer Chiefs, September 2024Backpagepix

    LEFT ATTACKER: Mduduzi Shabalala

    With Pule Mmodi suspended, Shabalala offers Nabi a natural option for that position.

  • Glody Lilepo, Kaizer Chiefs, May 2025Backpage

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Glody Lilepo

    With the latest goal against Sekhukhune, Lilepo continues to gain trust from the technical bench.

    Against Polokwane, the Democratic Republic of Congo attacker is expected to be preferred to lead the line over Tashreeq Morris.
