Mamelodi Sundowns vs Amazulu Prediction: The Brazilians will get it right this time

Mamelodi Sundowns will hope to make up for their share of the spoils against Orlando Pirates when they lock horns against Amazulu at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday. The Brazilians will feature in this year’s CAF Champions League knockout round after their victory over Nouadhibou. At the same time, Amazulu secured their spot in the quarterfinals of the South Africa FA Cup following their win over Royal AM.

The Brazilians have struggled to penetrate teams lately, as they have now gone three games without a win. Teams have decided to always park the bus against a highly attacking Mamelodi Sundowns side. They settled for a stalemate against Orlando Pirates as they failed to create meaningful chances. 

Mamelodi Sundowns 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 made their ground a refuge this season with four wins and two draws in six games.

The visitors were outnumbered by a struggling Cape Town City side in their recent game in the league. Amazulu lost focus at the back, and they were duly punished by Cape Town Spurs, who scored three times and missed from the spot. After the encounter, Amzaulu bounced back in the South Africa FA Cup with a (1-0) victory over Royal AM.

Amazulu have picked up twenty-two points from a combined fifty-one, scoring fifteen and conceding fifteen. 

Amazulu have won once, drawn three, and lost three on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Mamelodi Sundowns have won fourteen while Amazulu have won three and three games ending in a tie. Since returning from the AFCON break, Mamelodi Sundowns have played three games in seven days. We are not sure they’ll play with the same intensity as they did at the beginning of the season, as seven of their players just returned from continental duty. Having said that, they have all the resources available to take out the visitors who lost to Cape Town Spurs lately. We expect the Brazilians to win and score more than once; however, we would advise you to go for a win here because the visitors will likely park the bus.

Mamelodi Sundowns will likely get a halftime victory for 2.00.

We expect a correct score of (3-0) for 9.00.

Good luck!
