PSL legend Daine Klate admits the battle of the second place finish in the DStv Premiership will be exciting and has made his prediction.
With Mamelodi Sundowns set to win their sixth title in a row, the fight is now for the second CAF Champions League spot and the Confederation Cup.
SuperSport United [second], Orlando Pirates [third] and Kaizer Chiefs [fourth] seem to be favourites for the position. Matsatsantsa are on 39 points while the two Soweto giants are two points below them.
DAINE KLATE PREDICTIONS
Klate has now picked two of his former clubs to battle it out until the end.
“I think it is still difficult at this point in time to tell,” said Klate.
“It’s a difficult one, anyone between SuperSport and Pirates. I am comfortable with that because I have contributed to both clubs.
“So anyone between Pirates and SuperSport for me will be good. But it would be nice for Gavin Hunt to be in the Champions League,” added Klate.
“I think it’s three sides that you would want to see there. If you look at it, Mamelodi Sundowns, SuperSport United, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Cape Town City and Stellenbosch, are teams that should be right up there competing.
DSTV PREMIERSHIP SECOND PLACE BATTLE CAUSING EXCITEMENT
“Obviously, Sundowns is miles ahead, but I think that second spot race is actually what everybody is looking forward to, and maybe that’s what the league needs. Some little bit of anticipation, and I think those three teams obviously in that position brings anticipation and most so because it is Pirates and Chiefs,” he said.
Cape Town City [33 points] can still sneak in, while Richards Bay, who spent the better part of the season in second position, seem to be out of contention.
