Chiefs progressed to the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup after defeating Royal AM 2-1 in extra-time last weekend in KwaZulu-Natal.

However, Amakhosi affected their chances of finishing second after their four-game winning run was halted by a 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants a week prior.

As a result, Chiefs have since fallen five points behind second-placed Orlando Pirates and three points behind third-placed SuperSport United in fourth spot on the log.

The Glamour Boys will be without Sifiso Hlanti and Siyethemba Sithebe, who are both suspended for the encounter.
