Polokwane City vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: The guests are heads and shoulders above their opponent

On Sunday, Polokwane City will lock horns against champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium. The Orange Boys have a stern test ahead of their clash against the Brazilians tomorrow, and they must be at their best to break the jinx of eight games without a win against their guests.

Last four games: WWLD

Following their back-to-back wins at the start of the season, Polokwane City have now failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions. After their (3-0) loss against Orlando Pirates on the road, Polokwane City settled for a stalemate against Stellenbosch on the road. It was a game of luck for the hosts, who didn’t do much in front of the goal. Polokwane City was tactically outclassed by the Stellies but managed to split points on their ground. They have picked up seven points from a combined twelve, scoring five and conceding five. 

Polokwane City have shown grit and determination since the season began, and we expect them to give us a great game here.

The Brazilians maintained their 100% win in the league as they got past Royal AM. Mamelodi Sundowns, who had 70% of the ball, were more focused on possession than finding the back of the net. They fired three goals in the entire game and managed to convert two as the guests sat back, looking to punish them on the counter. Mamelodi Sundowns, who marched into the game after their (5-0) victory over Golden Arrows, looked tired. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have now won seven consecutive games in all competitions, scoring twenty-three and conceding three. 

Mamelodi Sundowns are unbeaten on the road in the league since last campaign and are yet to taste defeat this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Mamelodi have won twelve, while Polokwane City have recorded four wins and four games ending in a tie. Mamelodi Sundowns are still not playing to their standard despite their four consecutive wins in the league. They can do much more than that if they take all their chances. The Brazilians can’t look down on their opponent, who can be unpredictable on their home turf. The New Peter Mokaba Stadium isn’t a friendly arena for the visitors, but Mamelodi Sundowns remain the favourite here; bet on an away win and under 3.5 goals for 2.08.

We think this game will produce more goals after the break for 2.10.

The hosts might even get a halftime victory here for 2.16.

Good luck!
