Actress Masasa Lindiwe Mbangeni, who plays the role of Thembeka Shezi on Scandal, takes on Football411 in the Premier Soccer League predictions challenge ahead of this weekend's round of games.
Each week, we pit ourselves against a celebrity guest to see who can predict how the weekend's games will pan out.
Our star this week is a massive Kaizer Chiefs fan, who has featured on e.tv's show Scandal for the past three years.
"My dad has been a big Kaizer Chiefs fan since forever," says Masasa. "At one point when I was 11 or 12 I tried to support Sundowns but he made it very clear that he wouldn't talk to me if I did. I guess I was left with little choice in the end!
"Luckily because of work I often manage to score some free tickets to games, so I enjoy going with a few buddies and making a day of it."
Speaking to Masasa about the PSL it becomes clear that she is a football pundit waiting to be discovered, with passion, knowledge and opinion all rolled up into one.
She admits that her predictions this week are ambitious, with a flood of goals set to go in if she gets her wish.
"I'm hoping for miracles," she says. "People will probably look at my predictions and think, 'Wow that's wishful thinking!' But I'd like us to go back to the times when local football was more exciting and teams were more adventurous."
| Predictions | Masasa | F411 | Actual Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ajax CT v Platinum Stars | 3-1 | 0-2 | 4-1 |
| Free State Stars v Chiefs | 2-4 | 1-2 | 0-0 |
| Tuks v Supersport | 2-2 | 0-4 | 0-0 |
| AmaZulu v Golden Arrows | 3-2 | 1-1 | 0-0 |
| Bidvest Wits v Bloem Celtic | 3-2 | 2-2 | 2-0 |

| Sundowns v Maritzburg Utd | 4-2 | 2-0 | 1-2 |
| Black Leopards v Chippa | 3-0 | 2-0 | 0-0 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
We'll add up the points on Monday after the games have been completed, and set up a scoreboard for the season.
