ABSA Stadium Durban


Kick Off: 19h30

Muhsin Ertugral would want for nothing more than to put one more over his former assistant at Ajax Cape Town Ian Gorowa, when Chiefs face the Gorowa-led Moroka Swallows at the ABSA Stadium in Durban on Wednesday evening having already done the deed in the Telkom Cup over Swallows.

The Amakhosi will be looking to keep up their 100% record over The Birds this season in the Kingdom of the Zulu.

The Chiefs coach has said that he will do what ever is necessary to ensure his team pick up another three points during the mid week game, and has made four changes to his starting eleven for Wednesday’s game and two more to his match day eighteen.



Goals in mind



The Chiefs coach has opted for a very attack-minded approach for Wednesday’s Soweto derby, as he has decided to bring in Mandla Masango for Gerald Sibeko and will using the young energetic midfielder in an attacking midfield role just behind the front two. Ertugral has stuck with the two players who finished the game in attack last week and has started with his goal scorers from the Stars match, as Shaun Bartlett and Mabhudi Khenyeza begin in the striking positions, Bartlett replaces Kaizer Motaung Junior who has been left out all together from Wednesday’s outing in Durban.



Bhasera change



David Obua who began last Wednesday’s game on the left wing has been dropped into the substitutes bench, while Onismor Bhasera moves up to the left side of midfield and Ditheko Mototo comes in at left back for the first time in just over month. In central defense Moketi Tsotetsi who was replaced by Cyril Nzama for the Free State Stars game, wins his place back in the starting eleven, while Thuso Phala and Sandile Zuke return to the substitutes bench at the expense of Derrick Spencer and Kaizer Junior.
