Jonty’s picks

Kaizer Chiefs are often accused of being poor operators in the transfer market, but they do seem to have done some decent business this January, announcing the signings of Leonard Castro, Siphelele Ntshangase and Kabelo Mahlasela.

Coach Steve Komphela will no doubt hope all three will add some spark to a Chiefs attack that was mediocre in the first part of the season, but all three may well not be available today as Chiefs travel to SuperSport United in the Absa Premiership at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

Matsatsantsa have already beaten Chiefs twice this season, in the MTN8 in Durban and in the first round of the league at FNB Stadium.

But Eric Tinkler’s side need to find some form again after a poor run before Christmas. I am going to pick a draw in this one. Pool Name - S6 V2 P2 M1: Polokwane City v Mamelodi Sundowns. Sundowns soaring. TIP: Sundowns win = 1 M2: Spal v Lazio. Lazio excellent on the road. TIP: Lazio win = 3 M3: SuperSport United v Kaizer Chiefs. Previewed above. TIP: Draw = 2 M4: Orlando Pirates v Baroka FC. Pirates, just. TIP: Pirates win = 1 M5: Platinum Stars v Cape Town City. Spoils shared. TIP: Draw = 2 M6: Cagliari v Juventus. Juve on song.
