MTN 8 picks

The MTN 8 final is getting interesting and I hate to say it but the Chiefs vs Ajax Cape Town game has the feeling of a "final" of sorts.

No disrespect inteded to the Golden Arrows and Amazulu sides but one wonders whether either of them could take the winner of the Chiefs / Ajax game.

Our picks for the weekend:

Arrows to beat Amazulu (2-0)
Chiefs to beat Ajax (2-0)

Final prediction would be that the winner of the Chiefs / Ajax game will go on to bag the tournament.

Its going to be interesting though...

SA soccer chugs along

Another weekend of South African football and the big guns (excluding Sundowns) were firing:

Bidvest Wits 1 - 4 Kaizer Chiefs
Orlando Pirates 4 - 2 Thanda Royal Zulu FC
SuperSport United 2 - 0 AmaZulu
Golden Arrows 1 - 1 Bloem Celtic
Free State Stars 1 - 1 Mamelodi Sundowns

Chiefs in particular needed a big win after the loss to Pirates but the log still remains very open after 9 rounds.

Chiefs' latest recruit Nigerian striker Ibe Ogbonna scored twice - once from open play and once from the penalty spot, while skipper Jimmy Tau took a lot of credit for marshalling the Chief's defence.

Golden Arrows - 19
SuperSport United - 17
Bidvest Wits - 17
Kaizer Chiefs - 15
Mamelodi Sundowns - 15
Orlando Pirates - 15
Ajax Cape Town 13

(Ajax have a game in hand over the other sides)
