Junior Khanye and Benedict ‘Tso’ Vilakazi have predicted the Betway Premiership clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, both giving Sundowns an edge with two goals at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
The fixture failed to produce a winner last season, ending in a goalless a draw in the first round in Soweto, and 1-1 in the second round in Pretoria. This time they both come in with confidence having won their previous games against Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy, respectively.

Tso believes if his former side’s performance in midweek is anything to go by Amakhosi don’t stand a chance.
“After the MTN 8 game and Wednesday game against TS Galaxy I don’t think Kaizer Chiefs can stop this team,” said Tso on iDiski TV.
“They’ve got good players who played well, especially against TS Galaxy because TS Galaxy always gives them a headache but he brought on some changes.
“Well done to coach Cardoso for bringing on [Siphelele] Mkhulise, [Cassius] Mailula. Sundowns are going for a kill.
“Sundowns are not that great in terms of defending but it depends on who’s going to force them to make mistakes. Do Kaizer Chiefs have those players that can force Mamelodi Sundowns to make mistakes, I don’t think so.
“If Chiefs is not going to do a low block and try to win all the duels I don’t think they will survive. The game will end 2-0 for Sundowns.”
Meanwhile Khanye shared the same sentiments with Tso, however admits Chiefs fans will rally behind their team. The former Chiefs winger also believes Sundowns will bring key players for this encounter.
“I know Chiefs get motivated in such games, their fans become the 12th player,” added Khanye.
“But in terms of quality Sundowns is ahead of Kaizer Chiefs. Sundowns will have a changed mind-set, the likes of Aubrey [Modiba] will come back, you might be surprised to see Tebza [Teboho Mokoena] back because they rested him for the last game.
“You can’t compare the midfield of Sundowns and Chiefs and up front they have Mailula. So I agree with Tso the game can be 2-0 or 2-1 but Sundowns will win it.”
