PICK OF THE WEEK :
ORLANDO PIRATES vs MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Will Teko play? If he plays, will he score? If he scores, will he celebrate?Will Katlego Mphela will be there? Will Sundowns have a new coach? If you answered yes to any of these extremely irrelevent questions, then you are looking forward to this top of the table clash! If my rich neighbours lose, then winning the Nedbank Cup will be their hope of silverware this season. I can tell you that I am looking forward to at least one red card and a lot of oohs and aahs. Mushekwi versus Mahamootsa! Teko versus Andile! Tlou versus Method Mwanjali! Yes, idiski! The rich need these three points, getting them will not be easy!
A DRAW.
SANTOS vs AJAX CAPE TOWN
The “ No Smoking inside the stadium” rule will be broken over and over and over again in this fixture. The community of the Mother City love their puffs! The smoke will deter Ajax from running at the stubborn Santos defence in search of bragging rights and the small matter of three points that will keep them in touch with those Gauteng teams above them. Ajax are starting to look like the real deal and Santos are going about their business as steadily as only “The People`s team” can. Do not expect a lot goals in this one.
A NARROW AJAX CAPE WIN.
GOLDEN ARROWS vs BLOEMFONTEIN CELTICS
Those singing fans will be hoping for more of the same from Spandeel and company! The passion is there, the hunger is there! On recent form the Siwelele should be able to sing all the way back to the Free State with three points in the bag. I can , however tell you that it is not easy to get points from the s`thende boys these days. Those long balls to Paulse will have to be very accurate if Celtic are to get joy out of their Durban trip. Of course they must watch out for that rather stocky Zambian arrow!
GOLDEN ARROWS WIN.
MOROKA SWALLOWS vs MARITZBURG UNITED
I wonder if the Dube Birds` supporters will striker and hit the gates again if the team loses this one. These supporters celebrated like they`d won the Mainstay Cup when they got a win at Wits but such is the nature of football, they now find themselves on the brink of another vocal strike. The club has gone deep into the Sundowns` reservior of players to try and beef up the squad. This game is what we call a six pointer in football circles and whoever loses can start looking forward to the relegation playoffs!
MOROKA SWALLOWS WIN.
PLATINUM STARS vs KAIZER CHIEFS
Stars will be playing in front of the biggest crowd they have had for a home game all season. About twenty of them will be their own backers. By the time this game kicks off the Amakhosi will be knowing how points they will be needing in this game and the re arranged one during the week. They will have the result of the Bucs and Downs match. This can prove to be a distraction and it will be up to Platinum Stars to capitalise and silence the peace loving, loud supporters.
THE RESULT WILL DEPEND ON WHO WINS ON SATURDAY!
VASCO DA GAMA vs MPUMALANGA BLACK ACES
Those Clever Boys from the university in Johannesburg gave Vasco team a reality check of the highest order. Just to remind us all that the Cricket World Cup is upon us, Wits hit Vasco for six! This is the time to show their mettle and arise from their fall and score six of their own against a team low on points. Whatever happened to that team that beat Pirates and Swallows?!?? Vasco could also capitalise on the very short tempered group of players being assembled by the bald headed one. These players that have not been seeing a lot action, a lot of pent up frustration.
VASCO DA GAMA WIN.
