Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs: Bold CKO prediction – ‘It won’t be less that three goals’

Published on by

Kaizer Chiefs will face Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout semi-final that will be played at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The second semi-final in the South African domestic competition will be between the defending champions Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch.

Former Glamour Boys winger Junior Khanye insists there is no way the Soweto giants will beat Masandawana. He argues that the Fernando Da Cruz men are good individually but still struggling to play as a unit.

Khanye further stated the Brazilians will find it easy against Amakhosi, predicting a win of not less than three goals without a reply.

“Now it’s a reality check for Chiefs, how they win their matches leaves me with many questions. Coming up against a Sundowns side that is out of the Champions League, lost the Super Cup, they know they will be expected to win this Carling Knockout,” Khanye told KickOff.

“Sundowns will go all the way, I suspect a 4-0 score line against Kaizer Chiefs.  It won’t be less that three goals. 4-0 or 3-0. Chiefs will not beat Sundowns in Pretoria.

“Individually Kaizer Chiefs are playing well, but as a team there is no chemistry yet, there is no rhythm,” Khanye further explained.

The analyst further analysed the game between Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch, “Gavin Hunt will play counter-attack. But still, Pirates will go through, they have too much quality. They are going to win 1-0. Sundowns will go to the final with Pirates. And Sundowns will take the cup.”
