Kaizer Chiefs vs Red Arrows

Kaizer Chiefs host Red Arrows in Durban needing to turn round a 1-0 first leg deficit in the second preliminary round. The winner on aggregate reaches the group stage of the Confederations Cup. The Zambian side won in Ndola when Alassane Diarra scored in the 76th minute from a corner the visitors failed to clear. Set pieces have been a recurring problem for Chiefs, and coach Fernando da Cruz admitted his players showed no aggression in the first half. They are now winless in four games in all competitions, and he says the team lacks efficiency in front of goal. Defender Thabiso Monyane went off injured around the half hour in Ndola and his fitness is unclear. Lebohang Maboe and Siphesihle Ndlovu were already out before the first leg. Mfundo Vilakazi and Mduduzi Shabalala started in Zambia and will need to supply the chances. Da Cruz insists his side can still qualify. Our prediction: 1-0
