However, prior to that encounter, Magesi FC went on a winning run of four matches. In that run, this team defeated Richards Bay, Stellenbosch, Golden Arrows, and TS Galaxy.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Magesi FC Match Prediction 18 MAY 2025

Magesi FC are no match for this Mamelodi Sundowns team and it is just so clear, looking at the difference in the number of points accumulated by both teams this season. However, the visiting team has been impressive heading into this game, moving from the bottom spot as this looks like their real chance to avoid relegation with two more matches left. However, Mamelodi Sundowns have been a different team this season, being in the CAF Champions League final and having also secured the South African Premier League.
