Magesi vs Mamelodi Sundowns match prediction 20 August 2025

Magesi can be happy with their performance last season. They managed to survive in the league. This season, their main goals will be staying up and moving closer to mid-table. However, games like this one are not where they expect to pick up points. Masandawana recovered well last week. They had shown a somewhat rusty performance against Chippa before that. Now, we expect them to be even better this weekend. They want to build momentum for the season ahead. Our prediction for this match is clear. We believe Mamelodi Sundowns will win, and neither team will score. This seems like the most likely outcome. Magesi's first home game supports this prediction. They conceded a goal against Stellenbosch in that match. Therefore, they are likely to concede again against Sundowns. Furthermore, Sundowns have scored at least one goal in both their away games this season. This shows their attacking threat on the road.
