Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI to face Richards Bay - Pule Mmodi to start ahead of out-of-form Gaston Sirino?

Time is slowly running out for the Soweto giants in their quest to end the season on position third and play continental football next season.

Kaizer Chiefs travel to KwaZulu-Natal for a Premier Soccer League date with Richards Bay at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday.

Amakhosi have won two of their last five league games, lost as many and drew once, leaving them at position eight on the table.

They are left with nine league games before the season ends and that is a time they should become consistent and heighten their chances of ending the season in the top three.

GOAL takes a look at how coach Nasreddine Nabi could pick his starting line up on Sunday.

    GOALKEEPER: Bruce Bvuma

    After keeping a clean sheet against Cape Town City on Wednesday, Bvuma would want to go for another match without conceding.

    This is also a player keen on proving to Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos that he deserves to be back in the national team.

    The Angola international sometimes gets some criticism for the way he can be easily booked and Richards Bay forwards might try to employ tactics to frustrate him.

  • Given Msimango, Kaizer ChiefsBackpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Given Msimango

    Nabi does not have to worry about the absence of Rushwin Dortley with Msimango around.

  • Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Kaizer Chiefs, January 2025.BackPagePix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Nkosingiphile Ngcobo

    Ngcobo started becoming a regular starter recently following a difficult start to his season and would want to keep his place in the team.

  • Thabo Cele, Kaizer Chiefs

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Thabo Cele

    This is a player who immediately established himself as a regular starter following his arrival at Naturena in January.

  • Mduduzi Shabalala, Kaizer Chiefs, September 2024Backpagepix

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Mduduzi Shabalala

    Nabi might be stuck between selecting Shabalala or Mmodi to start this match.

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Gaston Sirino

    Sirino is back and has been starting matches recently, but what is left for him to do is to rediscover his scoring touch.

  • Glody Lilepo, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    LEFT ATTACKER: Glody Lilepo

    The DR Congo international started his time at Chiefs on fire but has regressed in recent matches and that could put him under pressure to pick himself.

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Ashley du Preez

    Another under-pressure forward who has to justify to Nabi why he is being started ahead of Ranga Chivaviro.
