TS Galaxy vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: Visiting Sundowns will secure a win

Mamelodi Sundowns and TS Galaxy will square off against one another in the Carling Knockout Last 16 match that will take place at the Mbombela Stadium on Wednesday. Although the Sundowns have a higher chance of winning this match, do you believe that the TS Galaxy will be able to take advantage of their home field and move on to the next round? 

TS Galaxy - a huge task for the host

The Rockets are going to make their debut in the South African League Cup, but the Mpumalanga-based team did win the 2019 Nedbank Cup when they were a second-tier club. After suffering a 3-0 loss to Stellenbosch FC in the South Africa Premiership match that took place on October 4, TS Galaxy had not been victorious in any of their most recent five matches heading into this matchup. There is no risk of suspension for TS Galaxy, as both Bafana Bafana midfielder Mlungisi Mbunjana and Rwanda's first-choice goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari are available for selection.

Mamelodi Sundowns - visiting side will not fail to win

Mamelodi Sundowns are the reigning champions after claiming victory in the most recent iteration of the Telkom Knockout in 2019, and they are eager to defend their title following their defeat in the MTN8 final. Although Masandawana suffered their first defeat of the season in the penalty shootout loss to Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 final on October 7, they are still undefeated in matches played according to the rules of regulation time. On the other side, Mamelodi Sundowns will be without Themba Zwane, Ronwen Williams, Khuliso Mudau, Mothobi Mvala, Grant Kekana, Teboho Mokoena (suspended), and Aubrey Modiba because they are all playing for Bafana in Ivory Coast.

Expert Betting Tips

The home team will be hoping to come out on top of this one and avoid being defeated, so this matchup should be close. The opposing team, on the other hand, possesses a strong roster and a high level of play. As a result, I will be rooting for the team that is traveling here to win. I believe that the away team should be able to score two goals in this match since they have a great attacking roster.
