Jonty’s picks

Ajax Cape Town and Platinum Stars clash this evening in a real relegation six-pointer at Cape Town Stadium.

The Urban Warriors are currently bottom of the Absa Premiership, with Dikwena just two points ahead of them in 14th position. Muhsin Ertugral could also badly do with the three points to get his latest tenure at Ajax up and running.

As for Dikwena coach Roger de Sa, there certainly appears to be no love lost between him and Ajax, his former employers. Stars did manage to beat Ajax 1-0 at Royal Bafokeng Stadium on November 1, with Vuyo Mere grabbing the winning goal. This time, I expect Ajax to seal a narrow win.
