Amazulu vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: The Brazilians will exert dominance over the hosts

On Tuesday, Amazulu FC will face off against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in what seems to be their biggest game this year. The hosts who have been in decent shape this campaign must do everything right to score here, not to talk of winning. At the same time, Mamelodi Sundowns will be keen to secure another victory on the road after their success against Stellenbosch. 

Last five matches: LWWLW 

Vusumuzi Vilakazi men returned to winning ways, scoring twice and conceding once against Royal AM. Amazulu started with free-flowing football, denying their opponent time on the ball. They were rewarded with a goal in the 37th minute and extended it further after the break. However, they conceded in the 78th minute and almost lost control of the game, thanks to goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who denied their opponent goal-scoring chances. 

Vusumuzi Vilakazi men recently picked up their third win of the season, moving to thirteenth place on the log. Since the league began, they have also secured nine points from a possible twenty-four. 

Amazulu FC have won twice and drawn a game on their home turf this campaign. 

Last five games: LWWWW

The Brazilians are back on their feet after some shaky performances. It wasn’t their best offensive display, but Mamelodi Sundowns got the job done despite the difficulties. Mamelodi Sundowns created seven big chances and missed six; a very poor conversion rate against a top team. The game ended in a (0-1) away win against Stellenbosch on the road. 

Miguel Cardoso's men have won eight and lost once in nine league games, scoring nineteen and conceding four. At this stage last season, the Brazilians were unbeaten in the league; however, they have already lost four times in all competitions. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have won twice and lost a game over their last three league matches on the road. 

Interesting Facts

Mamelodi Sundowns have scored first in nine of their last ten games.

Amazulu are without a clean sheet in three consecutive games. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Amazulu have won three while Mamelodi Sundowns have won fourteen and three games ending in a tie. 

Amazulu FC's last game wasn’t convincing enough, and were lucky to have come off with a win. They did play well but lacked confidence at the back. After watching their recent game, I’m confident that a well-drilled team will take advantage of their porous defense. 

Mamelodi Sundowns were not at their best in the recent game, but they created seven big chances against such a solid opponent. I’m backing Mamelodi Sundowns to find the back of the net before the break, as they will attack their opponents aggressively.

The Brazilians are known for their excellent attacking tactics, and Amazulu, who have been playing offensively lately, won’t be able to go toe to toe against the best team in the division. However, if they attempt to play offensively here, I think this game will produce more than three goals.

I expect the guests to win and score more than a goal here for 2.06.

Good luck!
