'Junior Khanye failed to win the Caf Champions League with Kaizer Chiefs & now he's after Orlando Pirates! Last time Amakhosi kids tasted Cup success, Nelson Mandela had just been sentenced to 27 years in prison' - Fans

We don't care what Khanye is thinking, he is a Chief's legend after all - Phumlani Kunene

We don't care what he is thinking

Pirates fans think just because they finished first in the group stages they will win the title - Edw In Some&nbsp;

Pirates fans think they will win CCL

We all know Khanye has been predicting the Cup finals of every tournament here in Mzansi but I don't remember any of his predictions coming right - Ndumiso Ntshangase

Khanye predictions don't come right

I fail to understand why most people can confidently bet on Al Ahly to win the CCL even after the lackluster performance they recently displayed. Orlando Pirates have proven to be the formidable side thus far in this competition and currently stand as the favourites - Tsepo Mochali

I fail to understand why most people think Al Ahly can win even after their struggles 

We have seen Al Ahly fumbling during group stages but going on to win it. Yes, they can win it again. But any other team can win it too - Skhumbuzo Thwala&nbsp;

Al Ahly can go all the way

As South Africans sometimes we don't put ourselves first and we have too much respect for other African countries, particularly North African countries -&nbsp; Sbusiso Madlala&nbsp;

We give North African teams too much respect 

Any of the qualified teams are capable of winning the title. However, the presence of the Mighty Buccaneers under Chef José will be a nightmare for any team that we come across. Group stage stats don't lie -&nbsp; Thabo Bucs

Any of the qualified teams can deliver CCL title

There are a lot of things people said Sundowns wouldn't do, but they have done them. Like when the season started, we were told we wouldn't even qualify to be in the top three in the Premier Soccer League. Where are we now? Must we be worried about what is being said now? I don't think so. We have the depth and every resource we need to continue being the best - David Debeta&nbsp;

Downs not worried at all
