“Orlando Pirates will win the Soweto Derby‚.”
Mahlangu turned out for both clubs during his playing days but the midfielder leaned towards Pirates and said the Bucs would have enough ammunition to see off premiership leaders Chiefs in the mouthwatering encounter.“Orlando Pirates are on form‚ they are playing a good brand of football‚ mixing modern football with a bit of kasi flavor.
“Kaizer Chiefs are very dangerous with set-pieces and diagonal passes to strikers Nurkovic [Samir] and Castro [Leonardo]‚ but for them to beat Pirates they need a plan B because if Pirates stop the supply of those diagonal passes‚ they will struggle‚” he said. The former Bafana Bafana international said he was not impressed by Chiefs’ style of play under coach Ernst Middendorp.
He echoed Chiefs legend Absalom"Scara" Thindwa who said even though Chiefs are winning‚ he was not impressed by the style of play under the German.Mahlangu was also quick to caution that current form would not really come into play in the derby. “Pirates have an advantage in terms of confidence going into this game because of the six consecutive league wins they have had‚” he said."The team that will minimise their mistakes will always have a chance to win the game.”
