Cape Town Spurs vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: The visitors will get off to a flying start

Having gone four games without a victory, Cape Town have a hurdle to overcome when they face off against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Athlone Stadium on Tuesday.  

Last five games: WDDLL

With back-to-back defeats against Moroka Swallows and Chippa United, the Urban Warriors returned to their usual level. Before the losses, Cape Town Spurs went four games unbeaten. More recently, they succumbed to a (2-0) defeat against Chippa United on the road. The last time they played at home, they lost narrowly to Moroka Swallows. 

It’s looking like the Urban Warriors will go down this season, as they have been inconsistent in their game. 

Their recent result was ineffective on their spot on the log as they still rock the bottom of the table. Cape Town Spurs have won three and lost eight games on their ground this season. 

Last five games: DWWDW

The Brazilians put up another incredible performance as they found the back of the net with the last kick of the game to secure the maximum points against a stubborn Richards Bay. Even though they featured most of their fringe players, Mamelodi Sundowns got the job done. 

The Brazilians are one of the best teams in the continent and play the most beautiful football amongst their peers. Mamelodi Sundowns have the best defense in the league, although they have played fewer games. Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven and drawn once away from home this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Cape Town Spurs have won three while Mamelodi Sundowns have recorded twelve victories and five games ending in a tie. The hosts' decent run ended with back-to-back defeats, and they’ll have to be at their best to take anything away from this game. On the other hand, Mamelodi Sundowns head here with a penalty shootout win over Young Africans in the CAF Champions League. Before then, they scored in the dying minutes to see off a stubborn Richards Bay side, although they featured most of their fringe players. We are not sure they’ll start with the team that played on Saturday, but regardless of what they set up, they’ll secure the maximum points here; bet on an away win and over 1.5 goals for 1.75.

The hosts have nothing to lose here, and we are confident they won’t sit back to absurd pressure from the visitors. We are going with more than two goals here for 1.92.

This game might end in a halftime victory for the visitors for 1.95.

Good luck!
