Mamelodi Sundowns vs Maritzburg United Predictions


Sundowns will want to win this domestic trophy. They’re major favourites to win this match by a large margin. I’m backing a win to nil and Downs beating the -2 handicap.

Head to Head


Sundowns hold a 22-7 advantage across 38 previous meetings with nine draws.

The sides last met in May 2023 as they played out a 1-1 draw.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns are unbeaten in 14 matches. They have kept 11 clean sheets in that run. 

A 6-1 win in the Nedbank Cup vs minnows La Masia preceded a 2-0 win away at Nouadhibou. After a 3-0 home PSL victory over AmaZulu, they beat TP Mazembe 1-0 at home to top their CAF Champions League group.

Sundowns then beat Chippa United 2-0 with 76% ball possession. In midweek, they drew 1-1 at home to SuperSport United as their opponents had just one shot on target and 22% possession.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena could rotate his side in this one. Right back Khuliso Mudau remains unavailable.

Attacker Tashreeq Matthews may have to settle for a bench role during Ramadan. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Onyango; Mdunyelwa, Kekana, Lungu, Modiba; Mokoena, Zungu, Allende; Lorch; Ribeiro, Shalulile.

Maritzburg United Form & Team News


Maritzburg are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions. Six points from four league matches has seen them move to 10th in the table.

After a run of four losses in five NFD matches, Maritzburg drew successive away fixtures: 3-3 at Casric Stars and 0-0 at Milford FC. A 3-0 home Nedbank Cup win vs Paarl United followed.

After beating NB La Masia 1-0 at home in the league, they drew 0-0 at promotion-chasing Orbit College in their last match.

Coach Simo Dladla is set to play his best XI. Veteran forward Judas Moseamedi could be handed a start.

Speedy wide players Nkanyiso Madonsela and Joslin Kamatuka will be key in this match.
