Mamelodi Sundowns are positioned to regain their place at the top of the PSL table with a victory over Siwelele. Sundowns have demonstrated a solid defense, having conceded few goals in their recent matches and consistently winning to nil. Siwelele, despite showing improved form with only one loss in six games and a stronger defensive setup, may struggle to overcome Sundowns' robust lineup. This matchup is their first meeting, setting the stage for an exciting clash as Sundowns aim to capitalize on this opportunity before the league break.

Key Stats – Sundowns Solid Defensively whilst Siwelele are goal-shy


  • Siwelele have failed to score in 9 of their last 13 matches.
  • Siwelele have lost 8 of their last 14 matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 12 of their last 17 PSL matches to zero.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.

First Clash Between These Clubs


Siwelele and Mamelodi Sundowns are meeting for the first time. Siwelele were formed before the start of this season. 

Siwelele in Improved Form – One loss in Six League Matches


Siwelele have improved of late with 11 points in their last six fixtures. An improved defensive record has been the main reason for their turnaround in fortunes.

They drew 0-0 at Kaizer Chiefs was followed by a a 1-0 home win over Sekhukhune United. They won 2-0 at Stellenbosch FC as they produced 2.20 xG. 

A 2-0 loss at AmaZulu saw Siwelele outshoot their opponents 14-7. On Saturday, they could only draw 0-0 at home to bottom-placed Chippa United.

Downs can go top of the PSL with a Win


Sundowns have dropped to second in the PSL table. A win here would take them back to the summit ahead of a seven-week break for the African Cup of Nations.

Downs smashed Remo Stars 5-1 away in Nigeria and 2-0 at home to reach the CAF Champions League group stages. A tight 1-1 home draw vs Orlando Pirates followed. 

Sundowns beat TS Galaxy 1-0 an 18-8 shot count. They’ve since played two CAF matches, beating Saint Eloi Lupopo 3-1 and drawing 0-0 at MC Alger with no shots on target.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Siwelele (4-5-1): Goss; Mobbie, Sanoka, Makhele, Rapoo; Mokhuoane, Margeman; Potsane, Pule, Lungu; Magidigidi.

Right back Nyiko Mobbie is back from facial surgery. He is pushing for a first start after returning from that setback.

Striker Zakhele Lepasa is struggling with his fitness. Versatile winger player Happy Mashiane has missed the last few matches with an injury.

Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Cupido, Modiba; Allende, Mokoena; Sales, Nuno Santos; Rayners, Matthews.

Coach Miguel Cardoso is without two injured strikers in Peter Shalulile and Lebo Mothiba. Themba Zwane could feature from the bench having missed out on the AFCON squad this week. 

Right back Thapelo Morena could return to the squad. Bathusi Aubaas remains out of favour. 

Verdict

I see a Sundowns win with a clean sheet.
