Hunt: Pirates are favourites to win the league

Thulani Hlatshwayo

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt says that Orlando Pirates are favourites to win the league title because they have a good squad of player and have done well in the transfer market as he has looked to take pressure off his side ahead of the season’s first Soweto derby.

Chiefs will tackle Pirates at the Orlando Stadium in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final and will face a team stacked full of Hunt’s former Wits players.The Sea Robbers took advantage of the sale of Wits signing Thulani Hlatshwayo, Dean Hotto, Thabang Monare, and Terrence Dzvukamanja and Hunt believes their business in the transfer market has made them favourites for the title.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
