Kaizer Chiefs face SuperSport United tonight in an Absa Premiership match at the Cape Town Stadium.
Bernard Parker, Lucky Baloyi and Tsepo Masilela all started in Sunday’s Champions League fixture, but they didn’t feature in the last Absa Premiership game against Bidvest Wits. Masilela missed that league clash because of suspension, while Parker and Baloyi started that match on the bench.
Parker and Baloyi both played excellently against the Comorian side last weekend, with Parker scoring a goal and delivering an assist for a teammate to score. Chiefs won that Champions League encounter 4-0.
