Mamelodi Sundowns vs FAR Rabat Predictions

Sundowns need a win to top the group and I see them taking the three points. A narrow win to zero looks most likely as four of their five wins under the new coach have come with a clean sheet.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns sit second in their CAF Champions League group. They need a draw in this match to ensure qualification whilst a win would secure top spot.

Following a 1-0 win at home to Raja Casablanca, they went to Stellenbosch in the league and won 1-0. A 1-0 win at AmaZulu came in the last minute with ten men.

After allowing 15 shots in a fortunate 2-0 win at Richards Bay, they lost 1-0 away to Raja Casablanca as they had two players sent off. Last weekend saw a vital 2-1 win at Maniema Union after trailing 1-0 with 81 minutes on the clock.

Right back Khuliso Mudau and defensive midfielder Bathusi Aubaas remain unavailable due to suspension. Striker Peter Shalulile is set to start after his brace last weekend from the bench.

Two midfielders are out injured in Rivaldo Coetzee and veteran playmaker Themba Zwane.

FAR Rabat Form & Team News

FAR Rabat sit top of Group B with two wins and three draws in five CAF matches. They sit fourth in the Botola Pro League with a nine-point gap to the summit.

After three straight draws in all competitions, they beat Hassania Agadir 2-1 at home in the league. Further league victories followed, 2-1 at Moghreb Tétouan and 2-0 versus Chabab Mohammédia.

A 2-0 home CAF win over Maniema Union was a key result. Last weekend, they secured qualification by drawing 1-1 at home to Moroccan rivals Raja Casablanca.

French coach Hubert Velud has a major doubt over centre back Hatim Essaoubi. He only last ten minutes last weekend.

El Hacen Houeibib is set to come into the XI in defence. There are no suspensions for the coach to contend with.
