Soweto Giants Set for Crucial PSL Clash Against Cape Town City
Kaizer Chiefs continue their pursuit of a Premier Soccer League (PSL) top-three finish as they prepare to host Cape Town City at FNB Stadium on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. This highly anticipated fixture comes at a pivotal moment in the season, with both teams looking to improve their standings.
Amakhosi Riding High
The Soweto giants head into the match with renewed confidence after securing back-to-back wins in their last two outings. These victories have propelled them into contention for a higher league finish, and they will be eager to build on their momentum.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi’s side currently sits in eighth place, and a win would boost their hopes of breaking into the PSL’s top three. However, they will have to navigate this challenge without suspended goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, though Bruce Bvuma is expected to step in between the posts.
Team News and Possible Lineup
Chiefs will also be without assistant coach Khalil Ben Youseff, who is serving a suspension. Despite this, Amakhosi still have a strong squad available, with Ranga Chivaviro, Pule Mmodi, and Ashley du Preez expected to play key roles in the attack.
Chiefs’ Possible XI: Bvuma, Frosler, Dove, Msimango, Miguel, Cele, Ngcobo, Sirino, Lilepo, Mmodi, Chivaviro.
Cape Town City’s Struggles and Key Players
Meanwhile, Cape Town City will be desperate to end their seven-match winless streak. The Citizens are currently 10th on the table and need a positive result to revive their season. Coach Eric Tinkler’s men will take confidence from their 1-0 victory over Chiefs in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
One major boost for City is that they have a full squad available, with no suspensions affecting their plans. The inclusion of new signing Thulani Serero alongside Haashim Domingo, Fortune Makaringe, and Kamohelo Mokotjo provides the visitors with a formidable lineup.
CT City’s Possible XI: Keet, Gordinho, Nyama, Idumba, Mokotjo, Domingo, Makaringe, Gonzalez, Rhodes, Dondolo, Soukouna.
Head-to-Head and Match Outlook
Historically, matches between these two sides have been closely contested. Chiefs have won two of their last five matches while suffering two defeats and securing one draw. On the other hand, Cape Town City’s poor run of form puts them under pressure to deliver an improved performance.
Their last meeting on January 5, 2025, ended in a 1-0 win for Cape Town City, proving that they have the ability to frustrate Amakhosi. With both teams eager for points, Wednesday’s clash promises to be a thrilling encounter.
