Maniema Union vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions

This looks set to be a tight match. Sundowns have enough to respond to last week’s loss with a narrow win. I’m backing a win to zero and a 1-0 correct score bet.

The reverse fixture in November finished in a 0-0 draw in South Africa.

Maniema Union Form & Team News

Maniema have lost just once of their four CAF group games but three have ended in stalemates. In the DR Congo Ligue 1, they sit second in the table with three games in hand.

After a fine 0-0 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns, they lost 2-1 at Rangers in a league match. Successive 1-1 CAF Champions League draws followed at home, versus Raja Casablanca and FAR Rabat.

Following a 3-2 home league win over Kuya Sort, they lost 2-0 in Morocco last weekend to FAR Rabat. That loss left them bottom of Group B.

Coach Papy Kimoto could again be without forward Émeraude Mola Otinga. He was injured in late November and remains a question mark.

There are no other major injuries or suspensions for the Congolese giants to contend with.

Maniema Union Predicted Lineup

Efonge; Bokomboli, Ndombele, Simete, Moanda; Kitwa, Sangana, Bakasu, Mbala; Basiala, Kitambala.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns have won all four matches under new coach Miguel Cardoso before last week’s defeat. They have just five points from four CAF group matches (DDWL) but still top their section.

After a cup final defeat and two CAF Champions League draws, a new coach was appointed. Sundowns responded by beating Raja Casablanca 1-0 at home and then winning 1-0 at Stellenbosch.

A 1-0 win followed at AmaZulu with ten men thanks to a last-minute goal. After winning 2-0 at Richards Bay, they lost 1-0 away to Raja Casablanca as they finished with nine men.

Right back Khuliso Mudau and defensive midfielder Bathusi Aubaas were red-carded last weekend. Both will serve suspensions in this match.

Central midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee is out injured and so is key playmaker Themba Zwane.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Williams; Morena, Kekana, Khoza, Lunga; Allende, Mokoena, Modiba; Ribeiro, Rayners, Matthews.

Verdict

Maniema Union v Mamelodi Sundowns

I see Sundowns winning this match. I'm backing a win to zero.
