Velebayi starts: Kaizer Chiefs starting 11 vs Orbit College
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs are back on the green grass to face Orbit College in the Betway Premiership. Exciting winger Asanele Velebayi starts.
Kaizer Chiefs are looking for a second Betway Premiership victory on the spin against the league’s rookies, Orbit College FC, at the FNB Stadium at 19:30.
Last Friday, Amakhosi snatched a late 1–0 win over Durban City to end a four-match winless run in the league, thanks to substitute Flavio Silva’s third goal in four games.
ASANELE VELEBAYI STARTS FOR KAIZER CHIEFS VS ORBIT COLLEGE IN THE BETWAY PREMIERSHIP
Co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef have made four changes after Friday’s game at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The standout name is that of the 22–year-old winger Velebayi, who earns his first start for Kaizer Chiefs after making one substitute appearance against AS Simba in the CAF Confederation Cup.
In defence, speedy right-back Thabiso Monyane replaces Dillan Solomons, Zitha Kwinika is in for the suspended Inacio Miguel in central defence. In the center of midfield, Thabo Cele gets a glorious chance to show he can own the number eight role in place of Nkosingiphile Ngcobo.
Three points could lift Amakhosi to second spot if Sekhukhune United drop points at home to Richards Bay this evening.
Kaizer Chiefs starting line-up: Petersen, Monyane, Kwinika, McCarthy, Cross, Mthethwa, Cele, Velebayi, Shabalala, Vilakazi, Ighodaro
Substitutes: Bvuma, Solomons, Frosler, Ndlovu, Maboe, Ngcobo, Mmodi, Sirino, Da Silva.
The visitors, Orbit College, known as Umswenko Boys, are looking for their first consecutive win of the season after defeating Magesi FC 3-1 in Rusteburg last Saturday.
Orbit College starting line-up: Nkomo, Mphahlele, Ngiba, Mokgosi, Madiba, Batsi, Thibedi, Moleleki, Saleng, Wagaba, Modimoeng.
