Amakhosi are fresh off a narrow 1-0 loss to log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday in Atteridgeville, while Magesi FC faced another Pretoria-based side, SuperSport United, on same day, winning 1-0.
After bagging three points on Saturday, Magesi have now collected 17 points in 20 matches.
They lie 15th on the log.
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs are in eight spot with 25 points from 19 games.
New ticketing system.
Amakhosi will be without suspended midfielder Thabo Cele, after the player picked up his fourth yellow card of the season on Saturday.
He joins Gaston Sirino, who will be serving his second and last match under suspension.
Tickets for the match are available from the new ticketing system, Open Tickets.
The new system enables supporters to purchase their tickets from the Kaizer Chiefs website, the SMSA website, and the Open Tickets website, as well as an additional WhatsApp option.
Supporters can purchase tickets via WhatsApp by sending the word “Tickets” to +27102883005 and follow the prompts.
Those who prefer physical tickets can obtain them at any Shoprite or Checkers store nationwide.
Each ticket costs R60.
Tickets for the Family Zone areas are available, providing a family-friendly atmosphere for parents who will be attending the game with children who are under-age.
The match between the Glamour Boys and Dikwena tša Meetse is scheduled to kick off at 19:30.
The clash is one of two scheduled for Tuesday with Marumo Gallants hosting Stellenbosch FC in the other fixture at the same time.
Chiefs must make a crucial striker decision as they aim to bounce back from recent defeats and secure a much-needed win.
Kaizer Chiefs face crucial striker decision ahead of Magesi clash.
Nasreddine Nabi faces a major selection dilemma in the striking department as Tashreeq Morris remains doubtful for their Betway Premiership showdown.
Morris sustained an injury in Amakhosi’s recent 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium, forcing him off the pitch before the half-hour mark with what appeared to be a pulled muscle.
Who will lead the Chiefs attack?.
With Morris likely sidelined for tomorrow night’s clash at FNB Stadium, Nabi must choose between Ashley Du Preez and Ranga Chivaviro to spearhead the attack.
Du Preez replaced Morris against Sundowns but did not finish the match, making way for Chivaviro later in the game.
Another option is January signing Glody Lilepo, who has a keen eye for goal and movement that can unsettle defenders.
Sirino’s Absence Creates Opportunity for Shabalala.
Kaizer Chiefs will also be without suspended playmaker Gaston Sirino, paving the way for Mduduzi Shabalala to step up once again.
This fixture presents a perfect opportunity for the young star to make his mark and solidify his place in the squad.
Amakhosi’s recent slump, with back-to-back league losses, has seen them drop to eighth place.
A failure to secure three points against Magesi FC could push them further down the table.
This fixture offers a golden chance for redemption, but underestimating Magesi could prove costly.
Kaizer Chiefs eye star striker for next season.
In transfer news, Chiefs are aggressively pursuing a new top forward ahead of the next campaign.
The club has renewed its interest in Yanga SC’s Zimbabwean striker, Prince Dube.
A trusted insider at Naturena confirmed that Dube has emerged as the club’s priority target after facing obstacles in securing other high-profile forwards.
“The club is evaluating the realistic chances of signing a striker, and as things stand, Prince (Dube) looks the most promising option.
The other strikers they have been eyeing, such as Michael Olunga and Fiston Mayele, appear difficult to secure, which is why attention has shifted to Dube.
He’s also performing well for Yanga at the moment,” a source said.
With a crucial match on the horizon and transfer plans in motion, Chiefs have plenty to focus on as they strive to reclaim their winning form and reinforce their squad for the future.
