Makhehleni Makhaula v Miguel Timm

Makhaula is arguably the best midfield destroyer in the division as he always plays at the base of Usuthu’s engine room, breaking up the play and putting in challenges before the opposition advance toward the defensive line. On the other hand, Timm is a good passer of the ball who’s always blessed with unrivalled technical awareness. Timm returns after missing last Saturday’s Soweto derby defeat to bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs where his absence saw the Buccaneers struggle to win battles in the middle of the park. Whoever is in the mood on the day between Makhaula and Timm has a better chance of giving his team control of proceedings.
