Former South African football star Teko Modise has made a bold prediction, stating his belief that Kaizer Chiefs will emerge victorious in the Nedbank Cup.
The Nedbank Cup, also known as the ‘Cup of Dreams’ is where upsets reign, delivering a constant stream of thrillingly unpredictable football.
Modise’s forthright opinions during the Nedbank ‘Yes or No Challenge’ will undoubtedly ignite passionate debate among football enthusiasts.
While his takes on the top scorer race were intriguing, it was Modise’s emphatic declaration about Chiefs’ winning prospects that caused the biggest stir. “Yes, please. We need them to win a trophy this season,” said the ex-Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates star.
When backing his Amakhosi argument, Modise spoke about the unpredictable nature of the Nedbank Cup tournament. “Look, no one expects them to go far, which is exactly why they might just surprise everyone. We need someone to shake things up.”
Chiefs will play against the winner between Sundowns and Sekhukhune United in the semifinal. The Soweto giants have not won a trophy in the last decade and will be eager to clinch the Nedbank to end that dreadful spell.
“As one of the Goals vs Saves competition champions, Modise brings the ‘Goals’ side to life, where every goal scored adds R20 000 to the prize pool and every save adds R10 000 in each round of this year’s tournament.
“In the round of 32 and 16, 71 goals were scored and 118 saves were made by goalkeepers, contributing to the current prize pool of R2.6 million – an amount that will be shared among MiGoals Plus and JustSave accountholders who have registered for the ‘Goals vs Saves’ competition. This prize pool will increase as the tournament progress to the final match.
