Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News
Sundowns have won the PSL title and have only been beaten once in their last 32 matches. They’re chasing their second CAF Champions League crown having won it in 2016.
They reached this stage after 4-1 away and 2-1 home wins against Belouizdad in the quarter-finals. A 2-2 draw at AmaZulu (after being 2-0 up) preceded a 2-0 win away at Marumo Gallants.
A fine 0-0 away draw at Wydad Casablanca with ten men for 46 minutes followed. In midweek, a second string side drew 1-1 at home with Maritzburg United (PSL).
Coach Rhulani Mokwena will be without Neo Maema and Marcelo Allende in midfield due to suspension. There were 10 changes in midweek and all of those players will return.
The experienced Bongani Zungu could be handed a rare start in midfield.
Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup
Williams; Mudau, Mvala, Boutouil, Modiba; Zungu, Mokoena, Mbule; Zwane; Morena, Shalulile.
Wydad Casablanca Form & Team News
Wydad reached this stage by beating Simba SC on penalties in the quarter-finals. They’re one point off log leaders FAR Rabat in the Botola Pro League.
After losing 1-0 in Tanzania to Simba SC, they won 1-0 in the return leg and triumphed on penalties. A 1-1 league draw at title rivals FAR Rabat followed.
They warmed up for the first leg with a 3-1 at Chabab Mohammedia. The first leg saw a 0-0 home draw despite playing against ten men for the entire second half.
New coach Sven Vandenbroeck could hand a start to forward Zouhair El Moutaraji. Saideddine Bouhra is the man most likely to drop out.
It could be an otherwise unchanged XI with no new injuries or suspension to deal with.
Wydad Casablanca Predicted Lineup
El Motie; El Amloud, Aboulfath, Zola, Attiat-Allah; Jabrane, El Hassouni, Jaadi; Ounajem, Sambou, El Moutaraji.
Verdict
The odds for this match will be released closer to kickoff. I see Sundowns winning this match at home. I will also be backing them to keep a clean sheet.
