Golden Arrows vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions
Sundowns are not free-flowing right now but have a formidable defensive record. Arrows are having a dip in form and neither their attack nor defence is functioning well. I am tipping Sundowns to win a low scoring match.

Arrows have sold midfielder Ntsako Makhubela left back Divine Lunga in the off-season.
Striker Knox Mutizwa will hope to start after playing the second half against SuperSport. Siphamandla Sabelo has scored in the last two matches and could start as left winger.

Downs had an incredible season last time out as they romped to the title with just one defeat and 19 clean sheets. They won 2-0 win at Bloemfontein Celtic before thrashing Cape Town City 3-0 on the final day.
They started their season with a win on penalties and Kaizer Chiefs in the MTN8 quarter-finals after a 2-2 draw. Sundowns beat AmaZulu 1-0 in their first league match after Themba Zwane’s penalty.
Their last match saw a 0-0 draw at Chippa United as they struggled to create chances but allowed the opposition just one shot all game.
Mamelodi Sundowns Injuries & Team News
Sundowns lost right back Khuliso Mudau to injury and centre Mosa Lebusa remains a doubt. Thapelo Morena and Grant Kekana should take their spots.
Midfielder Lebohang Maboe is out with an injury. Forwards Gaston Sirino and Kermit Erasmus are pushing for starts after regaining match fitness.
