Lebohang Maboe and Siphesihle Ndlovu are injured, and Brandon Petersen (knee) is not in the 23-man travelling party. Duba, Flávio Silva and Luke Baartman have travelled. Coach Fernando Da Cruz says Red Arrows are a strong team built on direct, offensive transitions, and that Chiefs will keep their approach unchanged.

How Red Arrows arrive

Red Arrows beat FC Rouge of Madagascar 4-0 on aggregate in the previous round. They also won the Charity Shield, beating Power Dynamos 1-0 in September, and the ABSA Cup, beating the same opponents 2-0 in the final at this stadium on 11 October.
