AJAX CAPE TOWN vs MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
This is not a title decider my dear reader. It is, however, a top of the log clash. The Cape Town boys have this thing of beating their stylish opponents on a regular basis. It is always a joy to watch young ones at play. Having said that, the stylish ones have managed to take points from matches they would have otherwise lost in previous seasons.Watch out for the little battles between fellow countrymen from up north in this one. Both these teams have a healthy dose of Zimbabwean skill in their armoury.
The coach with best plan B will win this one. Do not forget the wind.
MARITZBURG UNITED vs FREE STATE STARS
Steve Khompela will no doubt have spent this week using his good command of the English language to tell his players to forget about that huge win against the peace loving ones from Soweto.I`m pretty sure Shoaib Walters will not be as generous as Mr Khune.
Mazinyo.com will have to put a three point winning team for this encounter which should be a good game to watch.
Draw. Unless one of the goalkeepers has a moment of weakness.
MOROKA SWALLOWS vs ORLANDO PIRATES
Those rioting fans have called a truce and everything is well in the nest, for now! Ruud Krol commandeered the Buccaneers to a victory over the singing Siwelele thus avoiding walking the plank, for now! So it will definitely be a tense atmosphere for the kick off of the Original Soweto Derby. Gordon is a wily coach and will no doubt have done his homework. It is imperative Swallows start winning. The NFD will not be able to contain such a big team. Maybe we will see Teko in the starting line up, maybe.
I`ll surprise you all and go with Moroka Swallows for the win.
PLATINUM STARS vs SANTOS
It`s the stars of yesteryear versus the masters of the sucker punch. Platinum should have too much experience to fall into the trap that claimed Chiefs and Aces, amongst others. The stadium will not have any fans to put undue pressure on both sets of players. So they can all go out and enjoy it like it`s a closed training session.
Platinum Stars win.
SUPERSPORT UNITED vs GOLDEN ARROWS
A season or two ago this would have been an exciting game to look forward to. Alas , the champs are limping from game to game and those s`thendes have all but disappeared. Arrows are being turned into a more workman like squad that wins games without too much of the skill we had gotten used to. The champions are not waking up from their slumber, much to my disappointment. I`m sure the band is disappointed too but that won`t stop them churning out the tunes come Saturday.It`s one of those that either ends with a three nil drubbing or a boring nil all draw.
Supersport win.
KAIZER CHIEFS vs BIDVEST WITS
Roger De Sa once told Stuart Murisa that if they were to play Chiefs every week then Murisa would certainly be the top goal scorer.Wits have been a boogey team for the peace loving ones over the years and are not doing too badly this season. I hope that Chiefs have added a lot of carrots to Itumeleng Khune`s diet to help with his eyesight. On the other hand those Vilakazis miss so many chances it would not surprise me if they were to miss a chance similar to the one presented to Free State.
Draw.
BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC vs VASCO DA GAMA
If you cannot run for the full 90 minutes you will not beat Vasco Da Gama. It`s that simple. These mafikizolos will run any team into submission. It took some of the Sundowns players at least three days to recover from their game with the travelers. The wonderful atmosphere at Seisa Ramabodu Stadium should be a great setting for what should be a very exciting mid table clash.
Bloemfontein Celtic win.
AMAZULU vs BLACK ACES
We all expect and believe that the Dube Birds will rise from the murky waters of relegation. So this game is a six pointer! Niel Tovey must look for whatever it is he had in the first couple of games after taking over otherwise ….NFD! The Zulus have keep the scoring fever from last week and maybe this week they score three without reply.
Amazulu win.
Adios and remember… THE CHRIStal BALL IS NEVER WRONG!!!
