The Nedbank Cup features exciting matchups with predictions for each. Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to continue their strong away performance against TS Galaxy, winning without conceding. Golden Arrows are likely to defeat a struggling Stellenbosch team, given their recent return to form. Orlando Pirates are predicted to secure a big win over Casric Stars, bouncing back from a recent league loss. Durban City, entering on a strong run, are expected to outclass Upington City to progress to the next round.

Nedbank Cup Predictions


TS Galaxy vs Mamelodi Sundowns


TS Galaxy don't have the best record against Sundowns and they're in a poor patch of form. With six losses in the last 12, you have to feel that the sale of two key players in Janaury has disrupted their season. 

Sundowns have come off two emotional games in the last 10 days. They are set to change almost their entire starting XI, but their depth is impressive. Peter Shalulile is set to play up front and will be raring to go. 

With Sundowns only losing twice in their last 15 away games, and TS Galaxy failing to score in four of their last seven matches, I'm going for another home blank. Sundowns should win to zero. 

Golden Arrows vs Stellenbosch


Arrows were flying earlier in the season, but a real downward spiral took hold of them. A five-match winless streak in the league saw four losses. They've since won 2-0 and 3-0 in their last two matches and confidence has returned. 

Stellies need to focus on avoiding relegation. With some key injuries in attack, I don't see them causing Arrows much trouble in Durban. A home win is my prediction. 

Orlando Pirates vs Casric Stars


Casric Stars were flying high in the First Division not long ago. A serious stutter has hurt their hopes of reaching the top-flight. Their last 11 league matches have only yielded two wins. 

Pirates will want a response to a damaging league loss to Mamelodi Sundowns. I see them taking that frustration out on Casric Stars, winning on the -2 handicap. 

Upington City vs Durban City


Durban City sit sixth in the PSL table with 28 points from 18 games. They have won four of their last five fixtures, with one defeat. This is a good draw for them as their opponents are from a division below. 

Upington sit ninth in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with 22 points from 17 games. They're a mid-table side and I see Durban City winning the tie in 90 minutes.

Verdict

I'm going for Sundowns to win to zero. Arrows are tipped for a home win over Stellenbosch. 

In the other two games, I'm tipping a big win for Pirates and progress to the next round for Durban City.
