Sundowns are flying right now and playing with visible confidence. Polokwane will give them a game but I see the visitors winning. A victory with a clean sheet looks likely here.

Head to Head
Sundowns hold a 12-5 lead over Polokwane across 21 previous clashes with four draws.
When the sides last met in August, Sundowns won 1-0 in the MTN8 Cup with ten men.
Polokwane City Form & Team News
Polokwane have lost just once in nine league matches. They won their opening two league matches this season but lost in the Carling KO Cup last time out.
This term began with a 1-0 home loss in the MTN8 to ten-man Mamelodi Sundowns. A 2-1 home win over AmaZulu preceded a 2-0 victory at newly promoted Magesi before losing 3-0 at Orlando Pirates.
A steady 1-1 draw at home to Stellenbosch was followed by a shock 3-2 home loss to Marumo Gallants in the Cup last weekend.
Coach Phuti Mohafe will recall Manuel Sapunga in goal after he was rotated in the cup loss. Cole Alexander is doubtful in midfield.
Sammy Seabi set to make his first start in the engine room. Striker Douglas Mapfumo is available after injury.
Polokwane City Predicted Lineup
Sapunga; Matuludi, Nkaki, Nikani, Nkwe; Kambala, Seabi; Ramabu, Marema, Appollis; Mapfumo.
Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News
Sundowns have strung together a seven-match winning streak. They had lost four of the previous five matches.
They beat Marumo Gallants 4-1 at home in the PSL before a 2-1 victory at Kaizer Chiefs. Last weekend, they destroyed Golden Arrows 5-0 in the Carling Knockout Cup.
In midweek, the Brazilians rotated their side heavily. They still beat Royal AM with relative ease albeit with just three shots on target.
Coach Manqoba Mngqithi made several changes to the XI in midweek. Mosa Lebusa should return in defence and Rivaldo Coetzee in midfield.
Iqraam Rayners will be recalled in attack as Peter Shalulile’s struggles continue. The big question is whether Teboho Mokoena will keep his place in midfield.
Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup
Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Lebusa, Tiwani; Mokoena, Coetzee, Allende; Lorch, Rayners, Matthews.
Verdict
I can only see Sundowns winning this match. I'm expecting Polokwane to fire another blank when facing the champions.
