The soccer pundit is going against his own team.

Former Republic of Ireland and Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane says the Kansas City Chiefs will win Super Bowl LVIII.

The Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday evening at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Kansas City are looking to win back-to-back Super Bowls, while the 49ers are looking to climb to the top of the pile for the first time since 1995.

Keane is a big 49ers fan, but told Sky Sports his head-over-heart prediction was to select the Chiefs to win.

"I've gone against the Chiefs the last couple games and it has backfired on me," said Keane.

"I'm a 49ers fan but I think the Chiefs [will win] with their world class players and great coach.

"As a 49ers fan I'd love to see them win it but I'm going with the Chiefs."

Keane's prediction is the same as England striker Harry Kane, who is also backing Patrick Mahomes and co. to win.
