Kaizer Chiefs vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: This mouth-watering Derby game to end in a share of the spoils

Kaizer Chiefs will play host to the defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, at the FNB Stadium on Saturday. It has been an exciting contest between both teams over the years, and it’s always hard to tell who comes off with the maximum points when they face off against each other. The Amakhosi are gradually returning to life after a terrible run last season, while Mamelodi Sundowns remain focused as usual. 

We are pretty sure this is the perfect time for this derby as the hosts have been at the top of their game lately, while the Brazilians head here with four consecutive wins in all competitions. 

The Amakhosi continued their rise to form following their back-to-back victories in the league. After a devastating campaign, which saw the hosts finish 10th, the Amakhosi began their league season with a (1-2) comeback victory over Marumo Gallants on the road and defeated Amazulu (1-3) away from home. 

The appointment of former AS FAR Rabat coach Nasreddine Nabi Is an excellent decision by the management. The serial winners have now played twice, scoring five while conceding two goals. We still believe there is more to this Kaizer Chiefs team than just winning by a two-goal margin, and with time, they will definitely do better. 

Kaizer Chiefs will rely heavily on their excellent home record again to challenge the division and must improve their form away on the road this campaign.

The Brazilians began their league campaign with back-to-back victories over Supersport United and Marumo Gallants. Mamelodi Sundowns scored four goals against Marumo Gallants while conceding once on their ground. Iqraam Rayners, Tashreeq Mathews, Lucas Ribeiro, and Mhkulise were on the scoreboard for the Brazilians. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have now won four consecutive games in all competitions, scoring fourteen and conceding once. 

Mamelodi Sundowns are unbeaten on the road in the league since last campaign. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have won eleven while Kaizer Chiefs have managed five victories and four games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. 

The Brazilians are unbeaten against the hosts in nine games. Mamelodi Sundowns have also won before the break in eight of their last ten meetings.

Mamelodi Sundowns have scored first in nine of their last ten matches against the hosts.

Both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings.

Kaizer Chiefs are without a clean sheet in their last twelve games against the guests.

The hosts have been in decent form lately, playing like a team and creating chances. However, they play a Mamelodi Sundowns side who like to hold on to the ball and frustrate their opponents. It won’t be the same here, as both sides are expected to go toe-to-toe at the FNB Stadium tomorrow. Kaizer Chiefs are one of the most offensive teams this season, the same as the Brazilians, who are known for their attacking football. 

We expect both teams to come out and enjoy themselves, but there is a possibility of both sides getting a goal apiece here for 3.15.

It’s an evenly contested game, and we believe goals will surface here; bet on BTTS and a draw for 5.40.

Finally, considering the fact that the hosts have been up and running lately, we expect them to win or draw and score more than one for 3.75.

Good luck!
