Mamelodi Sundowns are tipped for another away win against Golden Arrows, with both sides expected to find the net. Recent head-to-head stats strongly favor Sundowns, who won 3-2 in their last encounter. While Arrows had previously enjoyed an 11-match unbeaten run with nine clean sheets, Sundowns enter this fixture on a three-game winning streak, showing strong form despite recent defensive absences. Predicted lineups suggest stability for both teams, but Sundowns' attacking edge makes them favorites. Expect BTTS in a Sundowns victory.

Golden Arrows vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


Sundowns were excellent last weekend vs these opponents. I see another away win with both sides on target on Sunday. 

Key Stats – Both Teams to Score in Sundowns Win


  • Golden Arrows have lost 5 of their last 9 matches vs Mamelodi Sundowns. 
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 17 of their last 22 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have seen BTTS Yes in 12 of their last 16 matches.

Head to Head – Sundowns Dominate


Sundowns hold a 30-11 advantage over Arrows across 53 previous meetings with 12 draws.

Sundowns won 3-2 at Arrows a week ago in the MTN8 semi-final second leg. 

Arrows Lost Last Match – After 11 Matches Unbeaten & Nine Clean Sheets


Arrows lost their most recent fixture after being on a superb run. They had kept nine straight clean sheets and were unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions. 

Golden Arrows beat Kazier Chiefs 1-0 in the MTN8 quarter-finals and drew 0-0 at Durban City as they allowed 25 shots. A 0-0 draw at TS Galaxy was followed by a 1-0 win at Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg. 

Arrows beat Stellenbosch 1-0 at home in the PSL before losing last Sunday. A 3-2 home defeat to Sundowns saw them exit the MTN8 cup on the away goals rule.

Sundowns Form – Three Straight Wins


Sundowns had won just seven of 14 matches, but have since strung together three wins on the bounce. 

A 1-0 home loss to Golden Arrows in the MTN8 came despite a 25-8 shot count for Sundowns. They thrashed AmaZulu 5-2 in the league and won 3-2 at Arrows in the MTN8 second leg to reach the final.

In midweek, an iffy display was still enough to beat Milford 2-0 at home. Sundowns looked fatigued and disjointed after some rotation. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Golden Arrows (4-3-3): Maova; Shezi, Jiyane, Mabaso, Maluleke; Dlamini, Zwane, Maxwele; Gasa, Dion, Sithole.

Arrows will hope to have captain Ayanda Jiyane available again in defence. Eroine Agnikoi has done well in his absence and could cover if necessary. 

Arrows have a very settled side. They’ve signed Dumisani Msibi to boost the goalkeeping department but he is not expected to start. 

Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Morena, Kekana, Khoza, Basadien; Mokoena, Allende; Ndlovu, Mailula, Matthews; Leon.

Sundowns remain without key defenders Keanu Cupido and Khuliso Mudua. Zuko Mdunyelwa is absent at right back due to a muscle injury. 

Arthur Sales and Nuno Santos are set to play no part in attack. Brayan Leon is expected to return to the starting XI.

Verdict

I see BTTS Yes in a Sundowns win.
