Mamelodi Sundowns vs Golden Arrows Prediction: The Brazilians will exert dominance over their guests

On Sunday, the Brazilians will square off against Golden Arrows at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in their attempt to retain the top spot on the log. Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven consecutive league matches, and they’re keen to maintain such a run against their guests.

Mamelodi Sundowns (1st)

Last five games: WWWWW

Since the arrival of their Portuguese coach, Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven consecutive league games, keeping clean sheets in six. However, it hasn’t been rosy for the Brazilians, who used to score for fun as they have found the back of the net six times in four matches. More recently, they returned from a goal down to secure all the points against Magesi FC. It seems Miguel Cardoso has prioritised defence over attack since his appointment. 

Miguel Cardoso's men have won ten and lost once in eleven league games, scoring twenty-four and conceding five. At this stage last season, the Brazilians were unbeaten in the league; however, they have already lost five times in all competitions. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have won six consecutive matches on their home turf. 

Golden Arrows (8th)

The visitors have been playing well lately without getting the deserved result; after they fought tooth and nail to secure all the points against Kaizer Chiefs on the road. Simply after that, they shared the spoils against TS Galaxy on their home turf. Both teams got a goal apiece at the break, as they settled for a stalemate in an end to end game. 

Mabhuti Khenyaza's men dropped to sixth place on the log following their tie, as they have now scored twice and conceded two goals in their last five matches. 

Golden Arrows have picked up nineteen points from a combined thirty-nine, scoring twelve and conceding eleven. 

Golden Arrows will be motivated to go all out against their opponents but must be prepared to handle the attacking prowess of their guests. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Mamelodi have recorded six victories and four games ending in a share of the spoils against Golden Arrows. 

The Brazilians have not lived up to expectations since parting ways with coach Rulani, but they have been up and running under their Portuguese coach. On the other hand, Golden Arrows have been decent lately but lack the ability to kill off teams when they have. They are a side that creates chances and hardly converts them.

Mamelodi Sundowns had a little glitch against Magesi FC on the road, where they had to fight tooth and nail to amass all the points. They’ll likely avoid such a situation here, and I expect the Brazilians to win and score more than two goals for 1.80 at (Betway).

Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to start strong against Golden Arrows, who can be stubborn as well; bet on a halftime home win for 1.65 at (Bet365).

I also think this game will produce more goals after the break for 2.20 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
