Saint Eloi Lupopo vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions - Downs to draw in Congo on Plastic Pitch
The upcoming match between Saint Eloi Lupopo and Mamelodi Sundowns in Congo is anticipated to end in a 0-0 draw due to Sundowns' struggling away form. Saint Eloi Lupopo remains formidable at home, unbeaten in 18 matches. Despite Mamelodi Sundowns winning the reverse fixture 3-1, their recent struggles on the road may lead to them struggling on an artificial pitch. Both sides show inconsistent performance, suggesting a draw with no goals could be an excellent betting value.
- Saint Eloi Lupopo is unbeaten in 18 matches, with strong home performance.
- Mamelodi Sundowns have won 3 out of their last 7 games, struggling away.
- The predicted outcome is a 0-0 draw due to both teams’ form.

Saint Eloi Lupopo vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions
Sundowns are struggling on their travels. I see this match in Congo ending in a 0-0 draw on an artificial surface.
Key Stats – Strong Home Form vs Poor Away Form
- Saint Eloi Lupopo are undefeated in 18 matches.
- Saint Eloi Lupopo have seen BTTS No in 6 of their last 7 matches.
- Mamelodi Sundowns have drawn 2 of their last 4 away matches.

Head to Head – Downs Won Reverse Fixture
These clubs have met on just one previous occasion.
Mamelodi Sundowns won 3-1 when the teams met in November in the reverse fixture.
Saint Eloi Lupopo Form – Four Points from Four CAF Matches
Lupopo have four points from four CAF Champions League group games. They’ve won 10 of their last 13 matches in all competitions.
After losing 1-0 at Saint-Luc, they strung together three straight league victories. A key 1-0 home win followed in a CAF clash at home to MC Alger.
They played MC Alger in their last match in the return fixture. A 2-0 defeat in Algeria left them fourth in Group C, just a point off Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mamelodi Sundowns Form – Away Struggles Continue
Sundowns have won just three of their last seven matches. They’ve not won successive away matches all season and their last seven away games have seen just two wins.
The Brazilians drew their two games before the AFCON break. They resumed with a 2-0 win over Orbit College before a 2-2 home draw vs Al-Hilal.
After winning 2-0 at Sekhukhune United in the PSL, they lost 2-1 away to Al Hilal in Rwanda. Their last saw a 2-1 home win over Gomora United in the Nedbank Cup round of 32.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Saint Eloi Lupopo (4-2-3-1): Omossola; Mpeko, Katumbwe, Douhadji, Mendy; Kambou, Kimputu; Mpweto, Mika, Molia; Wanet.
Coach Guy Bukasa has a full squad at his disposal. His side has had a full week to prepare for this match.
There are no major injuries or suspensions to deal with. Michael Kimputu scored a late win vs MC Alger and is a key man in midfield.
Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-2-2): Williams; Mudua, Kekana, Cupido, Lunga; Mokoena, Allende; Sales, Nuno Santos; Leon, Matthews.
Coach Miguel Cardoso rested most of his best XI in midweek. All of those players will return to the XI for this key clash.
Key striker Iqraam Rayners is doubtful due to a health issue. Right back Zuko Mdunyelwa is injured and veteran midfielder Themba Zwane is set to be rested on an artificial pitch.
Verdict
I'm backing a draw in Congo. I don't see both sides scoring, so a 0-0 draw looks an excellent value bet.
