Royal AM vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions

Royal AM have been outstanding in recent months, scoring goals and going 12 matches without defeat. Sundowns have lifted the PSL despite a recent dip in results. I am tipping this match to need extra after a draw in 90 minutes.

Royal AM Form

Royal reached this stage with three victories in 90 minutes, 2-1 at home against Cape Town City, 1-0 at Swallows and 3-2 at home against University of Pretoria.

John Maduka’s side are 12 unbeaten in all competitions and sit second in the PSL table. Since winning the cup quarter-final, they drew 1-1 at Cape Town City.

Their last match saw a 0-0 stalemate at home against AmaZulu.

Royal AM Injuries & Team News

Key midfielders Lantshene Phalane and Given Mashikinya were rested against AmaZulu to keep them fresh to start here.

Veteran defender Ricardo Nascimento should be fit to return in the heart of the defence. Right wingback Zukile Mkhize will be recalled to the XI.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form

Sundowns have had a slight dip in results of late. They’ve dropped points in five of their last nine PSL matches and were knocked out of the CAF Champions League.

A 5-0 win against third tier Summerfield in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final was followed by thrashing Golden Arrows 6-0 at home. A 3-2 aggregate loss to Petro de Luanda came next after losing 2-1 away and drawing 1-1 at home.

Their last match saw Sundowns retain the PSL title despite a 0-0 home draw against Cape Town City.

Mamelodi Sundowns Injuries & Team News

Downs are expected to play their best XI in this match. Rivaldo Coetzee and Haashim Domingo are injured in central midfield.

Left back Lyle Lakay is set for a recall. Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena are doubts at right back so Aubrey Modiba could deputise.
