Former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns defender Derrick Spencer says the Soweto giants will come out of FNB Stadium with a three points on Saturday afternoon.

Spencer says, even though the game is hard to predict, if there were to be a winner, it will be Kaizer Chiefs.

“I have a feeling we are winning this one as Kaizer Chiefs; we are going to beat Sundowns,” Spencer tells KickOff.

“Chiefs are not bad this season; we’ve put together a good team, we’ve started off well. We were just unfortunate in the MTN8 Quarterfinals game against Golden Arrows. That was the only letdown.

“Other than that, the boys are gelling well; we do have a chance to win the league this season, to be honest. The only position we still need to strengthen is upfront. We do need a striker.

“But with the players we have signed, we can put up a fight against Sundowns. They just need to be strong mentally. That’s what we need at Kaizer Chiefs.

“Things haven’t been going our way at Kaizer Chiefs; so the new players will be heroes if Chiefs were to win the league this season. There are some positives in our start, and that gives me hope against Sundowns.”
