Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI to face Marumo Gallants in PSL clash - Will Amakhosi coaches opt for a three-pronged attack of Glody Lilepo, Khanyisa Mayo and Flavio da Silva?

The Soweto giants have enjoyed an encouraging start to 2026 and would want to maintain their form when they visit Bahlabane ba Ntwa for Wednesday's Premier Soccer League clash at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium. Having recorded slim 1-0 wins in their last two games against Golden Arrows and ZESCO United, Amakhosi might want to see improvement upfront, and three forwards could start.

GOAL predicts how Kaizer Chiefs coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Ypussef could line up their men against Marumo Gallants.

CENTRE-BACK: Inacio Miguel
The Angola international would be happy he has been marshalling a defence that has not conceded goals in the last two games.

CENTRE-BACK: Zitha Kwinika
Kwinika and Miguel have formed a steely partnership at the heart of defence and that could be a concern for Gallants forwards.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Siphesihle Ndlovu
Ndlovu has resumed the season with some impressive perfomances and that could help him maintain his place in the team.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Lebohang Maboe
One of the experienced players in this Amakhosi side, Maboe could hurt Gallants with his supplies upfront, given Chiefs are sharp upfront.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Mduduzi Shabalala
On his day, the skilful Shabalala can help Chiefs dominate in the middle of the park and that would be problematic for their opponents.

RIGHT ATTACKER: Khanyisa Mayo
The CR Belouizdad loanee last found the back of the net in September 2025 and that was his only goal for Chiefs, leaving him under pressure to improve.

LEFT ATTACKER: Glody Lilepo
The Congolese forward can be forceful coming from the wings with some deadly crosses and is a good header of the ball when inside the box.

CENTRE-FORWARD: Flavio da Silva
The Guinea-Bissau international has started Chiefs' last two games and that could be a show of confidence by the coaches which could inspire him.
