Mamelodi Sundowns vs Cape Town City Prediction: The Brazilians will not lose back-to-back games

After losing their first league game of the season against Polokwane City, Mamelodi Sundowns will strive to flip the script against Cape Town City at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday. The Brazilians, who almost went the whole season without a defeat in the league, were beaten by Cape Town City on their home turf, and we feel they have a score to settle here tomorrow.

Last five games: WWWWL

The Brazilians were tactically overwhelmed by their opponent on the road, losing their first league game of the campaign. After resting six of their first-team players, Mamelodi Sundowns failed to get a shot at goal in a game for the first time this year. Polokwane City took advantage of an unorganised Mamelodi Sundowns when they scored in the 82nd minute to amass all the points. 

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi has been blamed for the defeat, as fans can’t fathom why such numbers of their starting players were unable to start the game. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have picked up twelve points from a combined fifteen, scoring ten and conceding four. The Brazilians have all their games at home this season. 

Cape Town City

Last four games; DLWD

The Citizens have been themselves this season, winning once over their previous league games. More recently, they settled for a negative share of the spoils on their home ground against Magesi. They had nine shots in the entire game but couldn’t find the back of the net. It was a disappointing performance, but they celebrated the result because their opponent has been pretty decent lately. 

Cape Town City had a poor ending in their previous league campaign, as they finished below the top four for the first time in four years. Cape Town City have picked up five points from a combined twelve, scoring twice and conceding four. 

The Citizens have lost once over their previous five league matches on the road.
