The Brazilians have been among the top teams in the South African DSTV Premier League, and their performance in the Champions League have been impressive. They have dominated this tournament, scoring twenty goals and conceding ten in their previous eight matches in this competition. With Peter Shalulile and Cassius Mailula leading the charge, Mamelodi Sundowns boast a potent attack that can cause problems for any team. Mamelodi are the only unbeaten side in this competition, and we can see them getting at least a point here after knocking out CR Belouizdad on (6-2) aggregate.

Over their last ten meetings, Mamelodi Sundowns have recorded three victories, while Wydad Casablanca have won four games with three matches ending in a share of the spoils. It will be hard to tell who wins this encounter, as the game could go both ways. Wydad Casablanca have the upper hand simply because they play at home, while Mamelodi can’t be underestimated. The Brazilians are a very dangerous team and will get a goal regardless of how the home side set up; bet on BTTS for 2.20.

Mamelodi Sundowns are the better side heading here after their performance against Algerian heavyweight CR Belouizdad. At the same time, Wydad Casablanca were lucky to have secured the ticket to this round following their slim (1-0) over Simba SC. For some reason, we believe the visitors can pull a surprise stunt here; bet on the away team to win either half for 2.90. However, both sides might be pleased with a point apiece.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.50.

Good luck!
