Mamelodi Sundowns vs Golden Arrows Predictions & Tips - Formidable home defence to take Sundowns into final

Mamelodi Sundowns hold a 21-9 advantage over Arrows across their previous 39 matches with nine draws.

The sides met last month and played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

Sundowns are currently in superb form defensively with 25 clean sheets in their last 35 PSL matches.

The first leg of this MTN8 tie saw a 1-1 draw at Golden Arrows where Sundowns put up 2.0 xG more than their opponents and should have won comfortably. A 2-0 win against Kaizer Chiefs and 3-0 victory against TS Galaxy followed.

Their last match saw a 2-0 win at Orlando Pirates. Peter Shalulile scored twice in the second half for a deserved win.

Sundowns are expected to use Grant Kekana at right back due to injuries to Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena.

Midfielder Mothobi Mvala is back from injury but Lebohang Maboe is out injured. Thabiso Kutumela should keep his place down the right flank in preference to Gaston Sirino.

Arrows have drawn their last four matches in all competitions having lost 3-1 at SuperSport United before that. They were 3-0 down in that match before a late consolation goal.

They drew 1-1 in the first leg with Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 Cup after several missed chances by the opposition. A 2-2 draw at TS Galaxy and 2-2 draw with AmaZulu followed having led in both matches.

Their last match saw a 1-1 draw at Sekhukhune United. Michael Gumede opened the scoring but a soft penalty after 82 minutes cost Arrows two points.

Striker Knox Mutizwa was returned from injury for the last match. Striker Michael Gumede is likely to start alongside him having netted from the bench last time out.

Velemseni Ndwandwe is doubtful in central midfield which would be a big loss. Siboniso Conco also has a knock and could miss the match on the right flank.
