Junior Predicts CAFCL Final Second Leg

Junior Khanye, an analyst for IDiski TV, predicted that Mamelodi Sundowns would secure their second star away in Rabat this coming Sunday. This prediction followed the 2016 African champions’ 1-0 victory against Morocco’s ASFAR in the first leg of the CAF Champions League final held in Pretoria this past weekend.

Khanye noted that Sundowns carried an advantage into the second leg, especially with the CAF away goals rule in mind. Last season, they just missed winning the tournament, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Pyramids FC from Egypt. Although the former Kaizer Chiefs winger acknowledged that the competition would be tough away in North Africa, he believed that ASFAR lacked stand-out players who could significantly hinder Sundowns’ chances of scoring.

“This team has a strong support at home, they know how to delay, they know how to harass the referee,” Khanye commented on IDiski TV. “Yes, at home they will be different players, especially the attackers, but we have to be honest they don’t have special players. They rely more on their defense, they hardly concede, which is why when you get a chance you have to bury them.”

He continued, saying, “I don’t think they have something special to surprise Sundowns in the second leg, especially a well-structured Sundowns. And to answer you, these guys – even if they score – the game will end 1-1 or Sundowns wins 2-1. That’s how it will end, you can write it down it’s going to happen exactly this way. It will end 1-1 and Bryan Leon will hustle a goal.”
