Kaizer Chiefs will play Raja Casablanca tonight in the second leg of the CAF Champions League’s first round at Casablanca’s Stade Mohammed V in Morocco.



Amakhosi coach Stuart Baxter has fielded a strong line-up, despite being without Siphiwe Tshabalala who has been struggling with dental problems.



Itumuleng Khune is in goal, while Brilliant Khuzwayo, who was between the posts in the first game, needed to sort-out some family issues and therefore didn’t travel to Morocco.



Matthew Rusike will be assisting Bernard Parker in attack.



Meanwhile, Morgan Gould is replacing Erick Mathoho, who has been given a break from Baxter due to his international commitments with Bafana Bafana.



Amakhosi go into the return leg with a slight disadvantage due to having lost the home game 1-0.



The match will kick-off at 19:00 (20:00, South African time) and will be broadcasted live on SuperSport 4.
