Former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns star Benson Mhlongo believes Saturday's highly-anticipated MTN8 final will be decided by penalties.
Defending champions Pirates will face Sundowns at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
"It's going to be a very tight final, just like it their last meeting," Mhlongo tells KickOff.

"The thing is, these two clubs know each other very well.
"Pirates didn't play badly in their last game, they just didn't use their chances correctly in the final third.
"But as we all know, form won't mean that much, in this cup final.
"I just hope the match officials limit mistakes on their side and let the game be the winner on the day.
"It's not going to be an open match. It's going to be very tight.
"I can't say who is going to be a match winner, Sundowns they've got depth, and Pirates they've got depth.
"Anyone from both squads deserves to play on Saturday.
"I plead with South Africa to support this encounter.
"Let's not take things personally, whoever wins the final on Saturday deserves to win it.
"Our football is starting to be competitive, which is what we need.
"I foresee the cup final going to penalties. That's how it's going to be."
