🗞️ Team News: Mamelodi Sundowns

There’s just one fitness concern for the Mamelodi Sundowns manager Manqoba Mngqithi to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Siyanda Nyanga (Shoulder injury) is out of contention.

🧠 Prediction

It looks to us that Mamelodi Sundowns can and should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

In contrast, AmaZulu could well struggle to score a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up hitting back at some stage here, too.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of the match.
