Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City
As defending MTN8 champions and favourites, Orlando Pirates begin their quest for a historic fourth straight title at Orlando Stadium. Polokwane City, who finished 8th in last season’s league, are serious underdogs. Buoyed by recent cup dominance and a winning squad retained by coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, Pirates are expected to coast into the semis.
Prediction: Orlando Pirates to win at 1.51.
Sekhukhune United vs TS Galaxy
Sekhukhune return once again, hoping to break past the quarterfinal stage, as they’ve exited at this stage in their two previous appearances. TS Galaxy are stable, well-drilled, and keen on progression. Galaxy’s cohesive squad and recent competitive form give them the edge.
Prediction: Draw at 3.30.
Stellenbosch FC vs AmaZulu FC
Stellenbosch, last season’s losing finalists, remain a balanced side and will rely on home support at Cape Town Stadium. AmaZulu have reached the MTN8 finals before but never lifted the trophy, and squad changes threaten cohesion. Expect Stellies to edge through.
Prediction: Stellenbosch to win at 1.70.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay FC
Sundowns enter fresh off their FIFA Club World Cup berth and extended league dominance. Richards Bay, debutants in MTN8, are outmatched. Sundowns’ class, squad depth, and momentum place them firmly in control.
Prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns to win at 1.37.
