TTM

TTM will be hoping for a better result after the 2-0 Premier Division defeat in their last game at the hands of AmaZulu.

In that game, TTM had 48% possession and 16 shots on goal with 2 on target. AmaZulu got 13 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target.

TTM have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 4 versus opposition teams over the course of their previous 6 matches. In those games, TTM have also seen the tally of goals against them total 7. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this match, though.

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against TS Galaxy in Premier Division action, Mamelodi Sundowns and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Mamelodi Sundowns managed 75% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, TS Galaxy got 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.

A succession of outstanding performances from the Mamelodi Sundowns defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their past 6 fixtures overall. In that period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 15.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings stretching back to 06/04/2021 shows that these encounters have been miserable for TTM. They have not been able to come away with any victories at all whereas Mamelodi Sundowns have been the better of the two, winning in 83% of those ties.

A sum of 18 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 3 of them from TTM and 15 netted by Sundowns. The average goals per game has been 3.

The previous league encounter featuring these clubs was Premier Division match day 2 on 24/09/2024 which ended up with the score at Mamelodi Sundowns 4-1 TTM.

That day, Mamelodi Sundowns managed 61% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Goals were scored by Tashreeq Matthews (9'), Iqraam Rayners (34') and Lucas Ribeiro (48').

ℹ️ Team News: Mamelodi Sundowns

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there is only a single fitness issue for the Mamelodi Sundowns boss Manqoba Mngqithi to contend with. Siyanda Nyanga (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that TTM should be able to score against this Mamelodi Sundowns team, but a single goal is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re therefore tipping both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Mamelodi Sundowns after 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
