AmaZulu FC and Kaizer Chiefs have announced their starting line-ups for today’s Betway Premiership match at Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Usuthu are focused on securing a top-four finish to guarantee a home fixture in the MTN8 early next season, while Amakhosi already secured third.

Following 28 games, Arthur Zwane’s team holds 44 points, two points ahead of fifth-placed Sekhukhune United.

Over their last seven matches, AmaZulu have secured two wins, four draws, and one loss, and a win today would propel them closer to their aim of finishing in the top four.

Meanwhile, Amakhosi can look ahead to next season after securing a CAF Confederation Cup spot last week with a 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United.

They hold 51 points after 28 games. In their last 10 matches, Kaizer Chiefs has secured six wins, three draws, and just one loss.

A win today would see them reach 54 points, drawing closer to matching their 2019/20 season record of 57 points (for a PSL season with 30 games).

In head-to-head matches over the past five games, Chiefs hold a slight edge with two wins and four draws out of six matches between the two teams.

Here is how they line up:

AmaZulu XI: Mzimela, Radebe, Hanamub, Mthethwa, Fielies, Allan, Zikhali, Bern, Maqokolo, Matlhoko, Ekstein

Subs: Ofori, Dube, Ngcobo, Slatsha, Mhlongo, Hlangabeza, Mashigo, Mbanjwa, Kutumela

Chiefs XI: Petersen, Cross, McCarthy, Msimango, Frosler, Maboe, Ngcobo, Chislett, Lilepo, Vilakazi, Da Sila

Subs: Bvuma, Miguel, Mako, Cele, Sirino, Morris, Ndlovu, Mmodi, Velebayi
