It's not a sentiment many will bet their house on, but a former Kaizer Chiefs star is optimistic the Soweto giants can earn a fat three points against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
Sundowns are overwhelming favourites in this sold-out clash, scheduled for 15:30 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Frank Makua believes Amakhosi will rise to the occasion, just as they did against rivals Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby despite suffering a 1-0 heartbreak.
"We're struggling, but I trust them to rise to the occasion like they did against Pirates," says Makua, previewing the highly anticipated clash with KickOff.com.
"I believe they will fix the mistakes they made against SuperSport United, even though it will be difficult since Sundowns are in good form.
"The challenge is that Sundowns are highly motivated when playing against Kaizer Chiefs. They don't take anything for granted. However, I have faith that Chiefs will perform better this time around.
"I feel strongly that Chiefs will not lose to Sundowns this time," he continues.
The man nicknamed 'Disco' during his playing days says the Betway Premiership fixture will end in either a Chiefs victory or draw.
"I don't see them losing to Sundowns.
"In these types of games, players need to perform regardless of their form. Motivation shouldn't be an issue.
"Many people think Sundowns will easily defeat Chiefs, but they fail to realise that football is full of surprises.

"The Chiefs players must approach the game as a team - no one should try to play individually or be a hero. It's important to stick to the coach's game plan.
"I believe Thabo Cele has what it takes to lead us to victory, although it won't be easy for Kaizer Chiefs. They shouldn't let their heads drop if they concede an early goal. Once that happens against Sundowns, they can capitalize and finish you off."
