Four Losses in Six - Stade Malien in Poor Form
Stade Malien have lost four of those last six matches. They reached this quarter-final stage with three wins and two draws in six Group D matches.
A 1-0 loss away to Simba came in a dead rubber. They won 1-0 at USFAS Bamako and drew 0-0 at home vs Bakaridjan.
They lost 1-0 at home to Real Bamako and 4-0 at Binga in the league. Last weekend, they lost 3-0 away to Mamelodi Sundowns in the first leg after being totally dominated from start to finish.
Sundowns to Win Again – Scoring Form is Strong
Sundowns sit top of the PSL table and have one foot in the quarter-finals of this competition.
A 3-1 home win over Sekhukhune United was followed by a 2-1 win over Golden Arrows with ten men. They won 2-0 at Orbit College and thrashed Stade Malien 3-0 at home in last week’s first leg.
In midweek, they beat Marumo Gallants 3-1 at home. Two late goals sealed a deserved victory after they heavily rotated their XI.
