Mamelodi Sundowns vs Golden Arrows Prediction: The home side will win comfortably

The champions will host the in-form Golden Arrows at the ABSA Tuks Stadium on Saturday. The host's team have been struggling to win matches recently while the visitors have been immense in their last two games.

Mamelodi Sundowns (1st)

Last five games: WDWLW

The Brazilians returned to winning ways with a slim (1-0) win over Chippa United on matchday 7. Peter Shalulile got his fifth season goal when he found the back of the net seconds before the final whistle. The Brazilians have been on and off this season; their defence has been shaky, coupled with the fact that teams now play defensively against the champions.

The Brazilians were the best team in the league last season, with a sixteen-point gap. Despite their dominance in the domestic league, they failed in the continental stage.

Mamelodi Sundowns will hope to retain the title this season. However, tomorrow's opponent is one of the division's best, and we presume an easy ride for the Brazilians.

Golden Arrows (10th)

Last five matches: LDDWW

They ran riot against Chippa United on matchday six as they scored three answered goals at halftime before conceding in the second half of the game.
