Young Africans vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions

Yanga are formidable at home in this competition and will have a vocal crowd. Sundowns have the quality and experience to deal with those factors. I’m backing a narrow victory for Masandawana.

Young Africans Form & Team News

Yanga sit on top of the Tanzanian Ligi Kuu Bara. They were beaten in their last match but are five points clear of Azam in the table.

A 4-0 CAF Champions League win at home over Belouizdad sealed qualification. A 1-0 defeat away to Al Ahly meant they only finished second in Group D.

Their last four matches have been in the league. Three successive wins preceded a surprise 2-1 loss at title rivals Azam before the FIFA break.

Coach Miguel Angel Gamondi has no major injuries or suspensions.

Former Baroka FC man Khalid Aucho will anchor midfield. Mudathir Yahya is key in the engine room with two goals so far in this competition.

Young Africans Predicted Lineup

Diarra; Attohoula, Job, Hamad, Mutambala; Yahya, Aucho; Musonda, Zouzoua, Ki; Gnadou.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns are unbeaten in 15 matches with six wins in the last seven fixtures.

A 3-0 home win over AmaZulu in the PSL preceded an important 1-0 home victory over TP Mazembe in the CAF. After a 2-0 win at home over Chippa United, they could only draw 1-1 vs SuperSport United.

Their last match saw two late goals to beat Maritzburg United 2-0 in the Nedbank Cup. Thembinkosi Lorch scored both goals for the Brazilians.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena has welcomed defender Mothobi Mvala and Khuliso Mudau back after injuries. Peter Shalulile will be hoping for a recall up front.

Numerous Downs players were on Bafana Bafana duty and they’ve flown straight to Tanzania to join up with their club teammates. Key midfielder Themba Zwane is suspended.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Mvala, Lunga; Mokoena, Zungu, Maboe; Lorch; Sirino, Shalulile.

Verdict

Young Africans v Mamelodi Sundowns

I'm backing Sundowns to keep a clean sheet in this match and to nick a narrow victory.
