Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Junior Khanye has made a bold prediction ahead of the highly anticipated Carling Knockout semi-final clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Amakhosi, backing the Brazilians to secure a convincing victory.

Khanye believes Sundowns have a significant advantage heading into the encounter and expects the Pretoria-based side to dominate their opponents when the two teams meet for a place in the final.

The former footballer is particularly doubtful about Kaizer Chiefs' chances of overcoming Sundowns, suggesting that the Soweto giants could struggle to contain their opponents' attacking quality.

Sharing his prediction, Khanye backed Sundowns to score at least three goals without conceding, identifying a comfortable victory as the most likely outcome in his assessment.

"Sundowns will go all the way, I suspect a 4-0 score line against Kaizer Chiefs. It won't be less that three goals. 4-0 or 3-0. Chiefs will not beat Sundowns in Pretoria."

His comments place additional attention on the upcoming semi-final, which promises to be an important test for both teams as they pursue Carling Knockout glory.

Sundowns will be looking to use their home advantage in Pretoria to secure qualification for the final, while Kaizer Chiefs will have the opportunity to challenge the prediction and demonstrate their ability to compete against one of the country's strongest sides.

For Amakhosi, reaching the final would represent an important achievement and provide supporters with another reason to believe in the team's progress.

Meanwhile, Sundowns will be determined to avoid any surprises as they pursue another domestic trophy.

Khanye's prediction has added excitement to the fixture, with supporters from both sides now looking forward to seeing how the contest unfolds on the pitch.
