Golden Arrows vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions

Sundowns have to travel from Congo DR straight to Durban for this match. Their form is outstanding with an impregnable backline. I am tipping them to win against a leaky Golden Arrows defence.

Head to Head

Mamelodi Sundowns hold a 22-9 advantage over Arrows across their previous 40 matches with nine draws.

The sides last met in the MTN8 semi-final second leg in September as Sundowns won 3-0 at home.

Golden Arrows Form

Arrows have had a good start to this season with two wins and three draws in six PSL matches.

After 2-2 draws away at TS Galaxy and at home to AmaZulu in which they twice conceded late equalisers, Arrows then went to Sekhukhune United and drew 1-1. A 3-0 humbling at Mamelodi Sundowns followed in the MTN8 semi-final.

Their last match, Arrows ended a six match winless run by beating Marumo Gallants 3-1. Nkosinathi Sibisi scored a penalty and Knox Mutizwa made it 2-0 before a late Siyabonga Khumalo goal sealed the win.

Golden Arrows Injuries & Team News

Arrows could hand a start to Siyabonga Khumalo in midfield after an impressive substitute outing before the FIFA break.

Coach Hloni Seema could recall Michael Gumede up front for extra firepower. Thabani Zuke will play at centre back after his recent debut for South Africa.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form

Sundowns are in superb form with just one defeat in 37 league matches. They faced Arrows a couple of weeks ago and won 3-0 in the MTN8 semi-final second leg.

Prior to that, Sundowns beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-0, TS Galaxy 3-0 and won 2-0 at Orlando Pirates in the league.

Their last match PSL match saw a 3-0 win against Swallows. Sundowns travelled to face Maniema Union in the CAF Champions League on Sunday so have little recovery time for this match.

Mamelodi Sundowns Injuries & Team News

Sundowns are expected to rotate their side with just 72 hours between a match away in Congo DR and this clash. Reyaad Pieterse could play in goal.

Kermit Erasmus and Gaston Sirino are pushing to play up front for their fresh legs. There are injury doubts over fullback Khuliso Mudau and midfielder Mothobi Mvala.
