Mamelodi Sundowns vs USM Alger Predictions - Brazilians to Win to Zero in Super Cup
Mamelodi Sundowns are tipped to beat USM Alger to nil, with a 1-0 correct score prediction. Sundowns have won seven of their last eight home matches and kept two clean sheets in their last three at home, underlining their defensive solidity. USM Alger have mixed recent results and have lost both previous encounters with Sundowns. Despite some defensive injuries, Sundowns are expected to field key players who have passed late fitness tests, while USM Alger aim to frustrate their hosts but face a tough challenge in Tshwane.

Head to Head – Sundowns Won Both Meetings
These clubs have met on two previous occasions, with Sundowns winning both clashes.
In the 2019-20 CAF Champions League, Sundowns won 1-0 away and 2-1 at home in two meetings.
Sundowns Form – 11 Wins in 14 Matches
Sundowns’ CAF Champions League defence ended in the qualifying rounds. This match represents an opportunity to win a third trophy of the season after lifting the FIFA African–Asian–Pacific Cup and the MTN 8 Cup.
The Brazilians drew 0-0 in Angola and could only draw 1-1 away vs Wiliete to crash out of the CAF Champions League on away goals. A 1-0 win followed vs Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout Cup.
They’ve since won 4-1 at home in the league vs Durban City. In midweek, a second-half goal was enough to win 1-0 at home vs Golden Arrows in the quarter-finals of the Carling Knockout.
USM Alger Form – Mixed Results
USM Alger finished 10th in the Algerian Ligue 1 last season with 15 draws in 30 matches. They beat Zamalek on penalties in the CAF Confederations Cup final.
This season has seen four wins in seven league matches. A 1-0 loss at Rouisset was followed by a 1-0 home win over Saoura. They enjoyed a walkover win vs Equatorial Guinean club Panthers FC in the CAF Confederation Cup due to their opposition’s financial difficulties.
Last Saturday, they won 2-0 away at Constantine in Ligue 1. Mohamed Ramdaoui scored a first-half brace in that victory.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Matuludi, Khoza, Ndamane, Basadien; Aubaas, Allende; Ndlovu, Santos, Matthews; Leon.
Sundowns will make late decisions on the involvement of two key men. Goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and midfielder Teboho Mokoena are expected to be passed fit to play.
Grant Kekana, Keanu Cupido, Kegan Johannes and Khuliso Mudau are all out injured in defence. Brayan Leon could play up front despite a nine-match scoring drought.
USM Alger:
Coach Lamine Ndiaye is set to pick his best XI.
The Algerian giants will arrive in Tshwane hoping to frustrate Sundowns and cause an upset.
Verdict
I'm tipping a Sundowns win to zero and with a 1-0 correct score bet.
