Ulsan Hyundai vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


Sundowns will hope to edge out their Korean opponents. I see a narrow win for the Brazilians and I’m tipping a 1-0 correct score bet.

  • Ulsan Hyundai have conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 6 of their last 8 matches to zero.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 10 clean sheets in their last 14 matches.

Head to Head


This the first ever meeting between these clubs.

Ulsan Hyundai Form & Team News


Ulsan have not been at their best of late. Their last 16 matches have seen just six wins. 

They sit in K League 1 with a nine-point gap to the log leaders. A 1-1 draw at Gangwon was followed by a 3-2 home victory over Gimcheon.

After drawing 1-1 at Gwangju, they lost their last match. A 3-1 defeat at Jeonbuk Motors dented their title hopes.

Brazilian forward Erick Farias is the team’s key player. He has nine goals in 15 appearances after a January transfer.

Ulsan’s other players to watch after a Swedish duo. Left winger Gustav Ludwigson and midfielder Darijan Bojanic bring some European experience.

More information will be available closer to kickoff. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns come into the Club World Cup having just lost the CAF Champions League final. They did win an eighth-straight league title though. 

After six straight wins to zero in the league, Sundowns had a chance to win just their second CAF Champions League crown. A 1-1 home draw vs Pyramids FC saw them leak a 94th minute equaliser.

The second leg saw a 2-1 defeat in Cairo to lose 3-2 on aggregate. Downs had 65% of the ball in the second leg but lacked cutting edge. 

Coach Miguel Cardoso has seen loanee Lucas Suarez depart the club. Rivaldo Coetzee has been released after persistent knee problems. 

Former Strasbourg striker Lebo Mothiba is fully fit and could start. He netted a hattrick in a pre-tournament friendly. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Lebusa, Modiba; Mokoena, Allende, Adams; Ribeiro, Mothiba, Rayners.

Verdict

I'm tipping Sundowns to score and to keep a clean sheet. A 1-0 correct score bet looks like excellent value.
