Head to Head – Downs Are Top

The sides last met in the Carling Knockout Cup in October as it finished in a 0-0 draw. Marumo won on penalties.
Sundowns Flying – Imperious Home League Form
Sundowns will go top of the PSL if they win this match. They’ve won 22 of their last 23 home league fixtures and they’re scoring freely of late.
Downs won 1-0 at AmaZulu with 29 shots at goal before a 3-1 home win over Sekhukhune United. They beat Golden Arrows 2-1 with ten men and won 2-0 at Orbit College in a controlled display.
Their last match saw total dominance as they beat Stade Malien 3-0 at home in the CAF Champions League. Sundowns have one foot in the semi-finals after that first leg success.
Relegation Danger – Gallants with Six Losses in Seven PSL Matches
Marumo have tasted victory just once in 13 matches. They are in a relegation battle and have lost six of their last seven league fixtures.
They were beaten 1-0 at TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup and 3-0 at Orlando Pirates in the league. A 1-0 home loss to Durban City was followed by a surprise 3-1 win at Chippa United.
On Saturday, they played the entire second half with ten men and lost 2-1 at home to Golden Arrows.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Morena, Johannes, Ndamane, Basadien; Reisinho, Allende; Saleng, Santos, Matthews; Rayners.
Coach Miguel Cardoso could rotate his XI for this match. Mothobi Mvala is the only injured player, so the coach has a big squad to call upon.
Jayden Adams is suspended in midfield so Marcelo Allende will start in his place. Both Khuliso Mudau and Aubrey Modiba are suspended in the fullback positions.
Marumo Gallants (4-3-3): Arubi; Ncube, Sikhosana, Agnikoi, Ntiya-Ntiya; Sithole, Bance, Nhlapo; Mabuza, Ndlondlo, Kunene.
Caretaker coach Trevor Mathiane is without wingers Jaisen Clifford and Katlego Otladisa. The latter is suspended after a red card.
Sibusiso Sikhosana will return at centre back after serving a one-game ban.
Verdict
I'm backing Sundowns to win on the -1 handicap and with a clean sheet.
Sundowns win to nil
