Mamelodi Sundowns vs Marumo Gallants Predictions

Sundowns are favourites to lift this trophy but they face a solid Marumo Gallants side. I see this being a close match with a draw in 90 minutes and extra time being required.

Head to Head

Mamelodi Sundowns hold a 2-1 advantage against Marumo Gallants with two draws.

The sides last met in the league in December as the match ended 1-1.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form

Sundowns are chasing a domestic treble having already lifted the PSL title and the MTN8 Cup. Their last eight matches have seen just three wins as their form has taken a dip.

They were knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Petro de Luanda after a 2-1 away loss and 1-1 home draw. They have since beaten Royal AM 2-1 away in the Nedbank Cup semi-final and drawn 1-1 at Kaizer Chiefs.

Their last two matches have seen a shock 3-0 home loss to Stellenbosch and a 3-2 win at Royal AM in the PSL. They led 3-0 in that last match but took their foot off the pedal in the final 20 minutes.

Mamelodi Sundowns Injuries & Team News

Downs have had a flu outbreak and some players remain doubtful. Andile Jali is ill in midfield and Rivaldo Coetzee is still out injured.

Mosa Lebusa should be fit to return to start in central defence. Rushine De Reuck and Brian Onyango are already out injured in that department so his return is a timely one.

Marumo Gallants Form

Marumo finished 10th in the PSL table. They reached this final after winning 1-0 at first division side TTM in the semi-final.

The side are winless in four matches but have also lost just once in eight. After a 1-0 defeat at Kaizer Chiefs, they played out a 0-0 stalemate at home with Golden Arrows.

Another goalless draw followed away at TS Galaxy. Their last match saw a 2-2 home draw with Sekhukhune United as they threw away a 2-1 lead.

Marumo Gallants Injuries & Team News

Striker Sede Dion is back from injury and could start this one. Coach Dan Malesela could otherwise play a false nine to clog the midfield.

King Ndlovu should get the nod to start in goal. Mpho Mvelase remains an injury doubt at right back.
