Mamelodi Sundowns vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: The Brazilians are the favorite here

On Saturday, the Brazilians will square off against Sekhukhune United at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in their attempt to bounce back from their recent stalemate in the CAF Champions League. The hosts have a point to prove here following their inconsistent performance lately, and we are backing them to win and score more than a goal. 

Mamelodi Sundowns (2nd)

Last five games; WWLWW

The Brazilians head here after their (2-0) victory over Polokwane City at home in the Betway Premier League. In a game where they had five shots at goal and dominated possession, Mamelodi Sundowns were poor again. They lack bite in front of goal, and they are yet to find their rhythm under the new coach. A few days after their win over Polokwane City, Mamelodi Sundowns lost against Magesi in the cup and failed to break the deadlock against Maniema Union in the CAF Champions League. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have picked up eighteen points from a combined twenty-seven, sitting in second place on the log. 

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

Sekhukhune United (7th)

Last five games: DWLWL

Babina Noko's side suffered another loss at home as they were beaten by TS Galaxy. Sekhukhune United were too confident against their struggling opponent, but they were caught off guard as the guests scored three times while they responded once with the last kick of the game. This was after their comfortable (2-0) victory over Richards Bay on their home turf. 

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema have not utilised the quality of his squad this season, and despite losing just twice in seven games, they have been below par. 

They have picked up ten points from a possible eighteen, scoring seven and conceding six.

Sekhukhune United have lost their only game on the road this campaign.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous six meetings, Mamelodi have recorded five victories and a game ending in a share of the spoils. The Brazilians have not lived up to expectations this season, especially since parting ways with coach Rulani. Their usual tactical advantages have been breached by opponents, who have now learned to sit back and punish them on the counter. Mamelodi Sundowns have also been ineffective in front of goal and lack the ability to kill off teams when they have them.

Regardless of what they are going through, the Brazilians are still a top team, and I will back them to get their stuff together and secure a halftime victory here for 2.05.

I also think they’ll take advantage of their guests' pore defence bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.12.

This game will produce a goal apiece in both halves for 2.10.

Good luck!
