While this clash may initially appear one-sided, a closer look at the teams University of Pretoria has defeated reveals their strength. They are the only First Division side remaining in the competition, having eliminated Premier Soccer League teams like Cape Town Spurs and Moroka Swallows in the last two rounds. AmaTuks, with their ambitious spirit, will aim for another major victory here. They enter this game unbeaten in 16 matches, showcasing their potential as strong promotion contenders and looking to extend their cup success. However, their record of three consecutive defeats against Mamelodi Sundowns raises concerns. AmaTuks have never won against Mamelodi Sundowns in their previous 10 meetings.
Mamelodi Sundowns
Mamelodi Sundowns, bouncing back from the controversy surrounding their Champions League victory over Young Africans, secured a 1-0 win against Cape Town Spurs in their recent match. Lucas Ribeiro's goal proved decisive as they edged closer to another league title. With the African Football League trophy already in their cabinet this season, the Brazilians are poised to add more silverware. They enter this match as the dominant force in South African football and a formidable presence on the continental stage, making them clear favorites. In their previous encounters with University of Pretoria, Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven out of ten matches. They bring a 19-game unbeaten streak into this game, including 12 wins. Their impressive away form includes six clean sheets in seven matches. Rhulani Mokwena's team has suffered only one defeat in their last 10 Nedbank Cup matches.
Expert Betting Tips
Mamelodi Sundowns are clear favorites in this match, having never lost to University of Pretoria in a competitive game. Their strong form, facing tougher opponents and boasting a higher quality squad at both ends of the field, reinforces their status as the expected victors. While University of Pretoria has proven their ability by defeating strong teams, it would be a major upset if Mamelodi Sundowns were to lose. The disparity in player quality is likely to be the deciding factor, with Mamelodi Sundowns expected to dominate and secure a comfortable win in both halves of the game.
