Cape Town City vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


Sundowns are nearing the league title and the stats suggest this is a banker win for them. I’m tipping the visitors to win to zero.

  • Cape Town City have lost 11 of their last 15 matches.
  • Cape Town City have failed to score in 9 of their last 13 matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 20 of their last 24 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches.

Head to Head


These sides sit at seven wins apiece across 21 clashes with seven draws. 

Sundowns won 3-0 at home when the clubs last met in October 2024.

Cape Town City Form & Team News


City are winless in 13 matches and they sit in the relegation playoff spot. They have lost three of their last four home league matches. 

A 1-0 home loss to Marumo Gallants saw the club sack coach Muhsin Ertugral. A 0-0 draw at SuperSport United followed as they were outshot 14-4. 

A 2-1 home defeat to Sekhukhune United was followed by a 1-0 loss at Richards Bay last time out. City had 61% possession but produced just two shots on target. 

Interim coach Diogo Peral is without striker Jody Ah Shene. The young forward is on national under-20 duty. 

Veteran midfielders Thulani Serero and Kamohelo Mokotjo are out of favour. Teenager Emile Witbooi could feature, whilst City will surely not repeat their false nine experiment. 

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup


Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Fasika, Nyama; Amato, Petrus; Rhodes, Domingo, Gonzalez; Soukouna.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns have reached the CAF Champions League final. They sit 12 points clear of Orlando Pirates in the PSL having played two extra matches. 

A late offside goal led to a 2-1 defeat to Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup semis. Sundowns drew 0-0 at home to Al Ahly before a 1-1 draw in Egypt in the second leg to progress on the away goals rule.

In midweek, the Brazilians made light work of Richards Bay in a 3-0 home win. They scored their three goals in the first 48 minutes before resting some tired legs. 

Coach Miguel Cardoso should have Peter Shalulile available after a knock. Arthur Sales got a goal and an assist in midweek and could keep his place in the attack. 

Ronwen Williams is a slight question mark in goal. Themba Zwane will continue his comeback with a fourth outing as a substitute. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Morena, Kekana, Suarez, Lunga; Adams, Mokoena, Allende; Ribeiro, Rayners, Sales.

Verdict

I see Sundowns winning this match with a clean sheet.
