Sydney reckons big-spenders Chelsea are going to struggle to win away to Fulham
This week’s Soccer Laduma guest predictor is former Ria Stars striker Sydney Moshikaro. 29 Sep (19:3) - Orlando Pirates v Jwaneng Galaxy (CAF Champions League): The Soweto giants have all to play for in this second-preliminary round, second-leg tie. Daniel Msendami’s 21st minute goal won the game for the Botswana side in the first leg played in Gaborone two weekends ago. Bucs have lost both games since then and now need a convincing win to progress to the group stages and build confidence ahead of the MTN8 final. Sydney Moshikaro: Pirates win
30 Sep (18:30) - Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool (English Premier League):
Ange Postecoglou’s men came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw in the North London derby against Arsenal last weekend and this promises to be another tough encounter. Liverpool are high on confidence after beating West Ham 3-1 and collecting maximum points in their last five league matches. Sydney Moshikaro: Liverpool win
1 Oct (15:00) - Nottingham Forest v Brentford (English Premier League):
The home side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend and Brentford lost 3-1 to Everton. Rico Henry, who has been ruled out for the season, is the only injury concern for the visitors, while Nuno Tavares limped off before half-time against City and is an injury doubt for Forest. Sydney Moshikaro: Brentford win
1 Oct (18:00) - Atalanta v Juventus (Serie A):
Last season both league matches between the two sides ended in draws. With only a point separating them in the standings, expect a hardfought battle. Sydney Moshikaro: Atalanta win 2 Oct (21:00) - Fulham v Chelsea (English Premier League): With more than £400 million spent on players this season, Chelsea have just one win from five games to show for the investment. They lost 1-0 to Aston Villa last Sunday and another defeat could set manager Mauricio Pochettino on the path to the carpark exit at Stamford Bridge. Fulham are also struggling with one win from their last five.
