Mbabane Swallows vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions

This match is difficult to call. The hosts are in better form but Sundowns are the superior team. I’m backing a low-scoring affair and Sundowns to nick the win.

More information on the likely starting XI will be available closer to kickoff.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns are struggling to win matches right now. Their last five fixtures have not seen a single win in 90 minutes with four defeats.

A 1-0 home defeat vs Cape Town City in round 30 ended their invincible season. A 2-1 Nedbank Cup final defeat followed vs Orlando Pirates.

This season began with a 1-0 win in extra time over Polokwane City with ten men in the MTN8 Cup. Their last two matches saw 1-0 losses to Stellenbosch FC to lose 2-0 on aggregate in the MTN8 semi-finals.

Goalkeeper Denis Onyango is available after suspension whilst fellow ‘keeper Ronwen Williams is an injury doubt. New striker Arthur Sales is competing with Peter Shalulile to start up front.

Five players started for Bafana Bafana on Tuesday in South Sudan. They may all be handed rests for this match.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Onyango; Mdunyelwa, Kekana, Lebusa, Mashego; Allende, Aubaas; Ribeiro, Matthews, Nku; Sales.

Verdict

Mbabane Swallows v Mamelodi Sundowns

I'm tipping BTTS No in this one with a narrow Sundowns win.
