Stellenbosch will beat Mamelodi Sundowns in Nedbank Cup - 'Stellies will be in final against Orlando Pirates!' claims Kaizer Chiefs legend

Former Kaizer Chiefs star Stanton Fredericks has tipped red-hot Stellenbosch FC to reach the Nedbank Cup final.&nbsp;Stellenbosch booked their place in the tournament's semifinals after thumping <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/nedbank-cup-stellenbosch-fc-join-mamelodi-sundowns-in-semi-finals-after-thumping-supersport-united/blte910740c1ec2a17a" target="_blank">SuperSport United 4-0 last month.&nbsp;</a>Fredericks, a SuperSport TV analyst, has boldly picked Steve Barker's side over well-oiled Masandawana as the favorite ahead of the game.&nbsp;

WHAT HAPPENED?

“The second semi-final, this is a big one, it’s just brilliant how the football has been set up here,” Fredericks said, per<a href="https://farpost.co.za/2024/05/03/stanton-fredericks-makes-bold-nedbank-cup-finalists-predictions/" target="_blank"> FARPost.</a>&nbsp;“The quality that Stellenbosch has been delivering, the prestige level that Sundowns have been maintaining for the last couple of years.“However, I think about the schedule, having played on Monday. I think, in fact, the Champions League on Friday before that, played on Monday, they had a game against Kaizer Chiefs, and they’re playing on Sunday," he added.&nbsp;“Because of that, I’m gonna say, and I’m gonna boldly say this that I think, Stellenbosch coming from scoring a lot of goals, playing good football, having that unbeaten record, and having solutions from the bench, I do think that Stellenbosch will take this one and will see themselves in the final."

WHAT WAS SAID

Fredericks foresees Pirates and Stellenbosch battling in the final.&nbsp;“The number of goals that Pirates have been scoring is in the last couple of fixtures, it’s just phenomenal,” he said.&nbsp;“In the last game, they made a few changes, six to be exact, and still they managed to overcome Cape Town City away in Cape Town.“So, I think Pirates, for me, have the upper edge. They’re confident and the current holders," continued former Bucs star.&nbsp;“And Chippa United lost their last two games after going ahead. I think they will be coming into this very cautiously, and I think Pirates will have the upper hand."&nbsp;

WHAT'S MORE?
