JONTY’S PICKS

Bidvest Wits have started 2018 in far better fettle than they finished 2017, with 10 points out of a possible 12 in their last four games, shooting them off the bottom of the Absa Premiership.

New signings like Sifiso Myeni and Edwin Giymah have settled in well, and the Clever Boys will fancy their chances of giving Kaizer Chiefs a run for their money at the Bidvest Stadium this evening.

Steve Komphela’s Chiefs are also in good form, with two wins and two draws this year, and a total of four wins in their last six Premiership games. My feeling, however, is that Wits will win this evening’s game – maybe 2-1.
