Kaizer Chiefs will take on Stellenbosch FC at the Athlone Stadium in their next Betway Premiership encounter.

Kick-off is scheduled for 19:30.

Amakhosi lost 1-0 against Orlando Pirates last Saturday and were then involved in a thrilling 2-2 home draw against AmaZulu FC on Tuesday night.

Both those matches took place at their once ‘fortress’ FNB Stadium.

Kaizer Chiefs are fifth on the log heading into Friday’s match with 22 points from 16 matches.

Meanwhile, Stellies are in seventh position with 20 points, but have only played 13 league games.

The Winelands team will be seeking revenge in Friday’s meeting, having going down 2-1 in the first league clash between the two sides last month.

Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, will want to avoid a three-match winless streak after picking up just one point in their last two encounters.

Key player returns from suspension

Coach Nasreddine Nabi made six changes to his starting line-up in each of the last three matches.

He also gave his three new signings – Tashreeq Morris, Thabo Cele and Glody Lilepo – their first starts for Amakhosi against AmaZulu.

Nabi and his technical team will be happy to welcome Njabulo Blom back from his one match suspension as they prepare for the encounter.

Tickets for this clash are available at Webtickets and online at www.webtickets.co.za and physically at Pick ‘n Pay supermarkets at R70 per ticket.

Meanwhile, in Friday’s only other Betway Premiership fixture, AmaZulu will host Marumo Gallants, also at 19:30.
