Key Stats – Goals Tipped in Sundowns Win

Golden Arrows have lost 4 of their last 8 matches vs Mamelodi Sundowns.

Mamelodi Sundowns have won 16 of their last 21 PSL matches.

Mamelodi Sundowns have seen BTTS Yes in 11 of their last 15 matches.

Head to Head – Sundowns Dominate

Sundowns hold a 29-11 advantage over Arrows across 52 previous meetings with 12 draws.

Arrows won 1-0 away when the clubs met last Saturday in the first leg.

Arrows Form - 11 Matches Unbeaten & Nine Straight Clean Sheets

Arrows have gone nine matches without conceding a goal. They’re currently on an 11-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

They beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in the MTN8 quarter-finals before drawing 0-0 at Durban City despite being outshot 25-8. A 0-0 draw at TS Galaxy preceded last week’s MTN8 semi-final first leg.

Arrows were outshot 22-5 and scored with their only shot on target in a 1-0 win at Mamelodi Sundowns. In midweek, they beat Stellenbosch 1-0 at home in the PSL.

Sundowns Form - Eight wins in the Last 15 Matches

Sundowns have won just eight of their last 15 matches. They need a win here by two goals to guarantee a spot in the MTN8 final vs Orlando Pirates.

A late goal rescued a 1-1 draw away at Kaizer Chiefs before beating Marumo Gallants 2-0 in the league. Last weekend saw a 1-0 home loss to Golden Arrows in the MTN8 despite a 25-8 shot count in their favour.

In midweek, the Brazilians beat AmaZulu 5-2 in the PSL. Sundowns outshot their opponents 21-8 in a dominant attacking display.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Golden Arrows (4-3-3): Maova; Shezi, Jiyane, Mabaso, Maluleke; Dlamini, Zwane, Maxwele; Gasa, Dion, Sithole.

Arrows have a doubt over captain Ayanda Jiyane in defence. Eroine Agnikoi is on standby to deputise once again.

Sede Dion was given a partial rest in midweek but is set to return to the starting XI here.

Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Morena, Kekana, Khoza, Basadien; Mokoena, Allende; Ndlovu, Mailula, Matthews; Leon.

Sundowns are without defender Keanu Cupido and Khuliso Mudua. Thapelo Morena could cover at right back for the latter.

Teboho Mokoena is available again in midfield after a gashed leg. Arthur Sales is ruled out in attack and Nuno Santos is a question mark for unknown reasons.

Verdict

Golden Arrows v Mamelodi Sundowns

I see BTTS Yes in a Sundowns win.
