With Mamelodi Sundowns set to take on Orlando Pirates, the legend for both teams, Katlego Mashego has revealed who he thinks will be a “surprise star” for the match.
The two teams will be vying for the maximum points as the Betway Premiership league title race heats up.
The Brazilians currently lead the standings with 39 points from 14 games. Orlando Pirates trail closely with 33 points from 13 matches.
The Tshwane giants will strive to maintain their top position, while Pirates aim to reduce the gap.
In an interview with FARPost, Mashego stated that Jayden Adams is a secret weapon for Sundowns and predicted that the Bafana Bafana midfielder will be a standout performer if he features.

“I think the underdog or surprise star for this game, if he plays for Mamelodi Sundowns, is Jayden Adams. He brought something in his last game for Sundowns,” Mashego told FARPost.
“In that game, I’ve seen something that I have never seen in South African football, especially from a South African midfielder in a long time.
“He’s a player who is composed, has awareness, and likes to go inside the box. If he’s given the chance, I think he will shine. This is a game for him to stamp his authority, and probably from that, he will return to the national team.
“He’s a player that I’ve been watching for a while and a player that I like for a long time. I’m happy at Sundowns, he’s surrounded by a lot of quality players who will help him bring that quality.”
