With eight
teams already out (Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Maritzburg United,
AmaZulu, Black Leopards, Free State Stars, SuperSport United and Bloemfontein
Celtic) it remains to be seen who are the next 4 to follow in the Telkom Knockout.
Quarterfinal 1 - First of these Telkom Knockout
quarterfinals we have Santos hosting Platinum Stars...these 2 met not long ago
in the Absa Premier Soccer League encounter and Stars thrashed the Cape side by
4-1, expect a revenge by Boebie Solomon’s side.
PREDICTION: Win for Santos
Quarterfinal 2 - This is the game of the weekend, the
high flying Moroka Swallows host Orlando Pirates. The last time these two met
in a cup tie it was in the MTN8 Final last season which was won by Bucs and in
the same cup competition in 2008 they met in thequarters once again Bucs won
3-2.
PREDICTION: 2 -1 to Pirates
Quarterfinal 3 - Ajax Cape Town take on Golden Arrows
in Cape Town with both teams going to this match having lost their midweek
league matches by 2-0, 2-1 respectively. This is going to be a tight affair and
it could be decided by the odd goal.
PREDICTION: 1 nil win to away team
Quarterfinal 4 - Jomo Cosmos is up against Bidvest Wits.
Five of the last ten Premier Soccer League results between the 2 teams have
ended in 0-0 draws.
PREDICTION: walkover for Wits!
