Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI against TS Galaxy - With Given Msimango suspended, who will partner Edmilson Dove?

Amakhosi hope to bounce back to winning ways after a 5-1 defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns in their last league outing.

Kaizer Chiefs are set to welcome TS Galaxy at the Peter Mokaba Stadium for a Premier Soccer League outing.

The Glamour Boys are hoping to collect maximum points in their bid to push for a top-eight finish after an inconsistent campaign.

GOAL predicts how Cavin Johnson could select his starting lineup against the Rockets after a humiliating loss against the newly crowned Sundowns on Thursday.

GOALKEEPER: Bruce Bvuma

The 28-year-old shot-stopper had a long day against Sundowns and will be hoping to make amends on Tuesday.

He has kept seven clean sheets in the 14 matches played and will be hoping to get another one against the Rockets.

RIGHT-BACK: Zitha Kwinika

Zitha Kwinika, Kaizer Chiefs

The 30-year-old justified his inclusion in the team with a good performance against Sundowns which might see him get his 13th PSL appearance on Tuesday.

LEFT-BACK: Reeve Frosler

Sifiso Hlanti was replaced by the speedy Reeve Frosler who did well to help in attack and defence. He will be vital in providing extra option during attacks if he gets another starting berth.

CENTRE-BACK: Thatayaone Ditlhokwe

Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Kaizer Chiefs, August 2023

Prior to Thursday's game, Ditlhokwe had been absent through injury, missing 13 games for the club. After making his return, the 25-year-old might get another start, especially with Given Msimango suspended.

CENTRE-BACK: Edmilson Dove

Edmilson Dove, Kaizer Chiefs

Given Msimango has always been a first-choice centre-back at Chiefs this season. However, with his absence, the returning Dove - who also missed the Masandawana game due to a ban, is set to partner Ditlhokwe.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Siyethemba Sithebe

It seems Sithebe has won Cavin Johnson's trust in midfield explaining why he has been a starter in the most recent matches.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Yusuf Maart

Yusuf Maart, Kaizer Chiefs

When fully fit, Maart is always the favourite in the central midfield role. Johnson might opt to start him alongside Sithebe as he did against Masandawana.

Maart had to drop to a right-back role to help the defence in the loss against the Brazilians.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Mduduzi Shabalala

Shabalala was surprisingly dropped against the PSL champions despite his form. However, after Edson Castillo's struggles, Johnson might bring him back in the starting team.

RIGHT-MIDFILDER: Christian Saile

Christian Saile, Kaizer Chiefs

The Congolese looked determined against Downs but could not have a proper impact owing to the team's numerical disadvantage.

LEFT-WINGER: Pule Mmodi

Pule Mmodi, Kaizer Chiefs, February 2024

Mmodi was kept silent by Khuliso Mudau on Thursday before paving way for Mduduzi Shabalala against Mamelodi Sundowns.

However, he has been delivering for Chiefs this season and is set for another start.

CENTRE-FORWARD: Ashley Du Preez

The speedy Du Preez is a key attacker who can be trusted when it comes to troubling any defence with his pace.

The striker has to work on his finishing touch though.
