Mamelodi Sundowns legend Teko Modise doesn’t believe that Kaizer Chiefs have the personnel to upset his former club while simultaneously maintaining that anything can happen.
The two sides renew their rivalry for the fourth time this season with Masandawana winning all three previous meetings and Amakhosi only scoring once in all three ties which ended 4-0, 2-1 and most recently 1-0.
Speaking to iDiski Times senior writer Matshelane Mamabolo, the former Bafana Bafana midfield played his cards very close to his chest in choosing an outright winner for Sunday’s crunch semi-final clash at Loftus Versfeld.
“It’s a very difficult one,” the General told iDiski Times.
“Because you have Sundowns that have a CAF commitment to play against a very, very difficult side and it’s gonna be a very physical and demanding to get a positive result.
“And yet again you have such an important game over the weekend which maybe Chiefs can find the weaknesses and flaws to actually beat Mamelodi Sundowns over the weekend.
“But yet again you have a fixture that Sundowns are coming in as favourites and you have a mix bag of results from Kaizer Chiefs which the fans are expecting a victory or which the fans are expecting some sort of consolidation or consolidation prize maybe in terms of the season they’ve had.
“It’s gonna be a very difficult one.
“I don’t think they have the personnel to upset Mamelodi Sundowns, but we’ve seen remarkable things happen in football.
“Just because you’re favourites doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve already won the game.
“I think Mamelodi Sundowns have to go out on the weekend to actually try and win the game and Kaizer Chiefs will possibly try and use the energy because they don’t have a game in midweek.
“They’ll try and use as much energy as they can and just try and get as early goals as possible because knowing that Mamelodi Sundowns they will possibly be back in the country by Friday, and they don’t have enough time to actually train for that game.”
