TS Galaxy vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions - Brazilians to narrowly shoot down Rockets

Mamelodi Sundowns are tipped to edge TS Galaxy in a narrow away win, likely 1-0, despite having played an energy-sapping 120-minute match recently. While Galaxy has struggled in recent PSL fixtures, they are unbeaten in their last six and have beaten Sundowns in the past two meetings. However, Sundowns' strong overall record and defensive solidity give them the advantage. TS Galaxy's transfer ban and missing goalkeeper further limit their chances. The likely outcome is a clean-sheet victory for the away side.

TS Galaxy vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


The Rockets are struggling in the PSL but have two straight wins vs Sundowns. The Brazilians may be a bit fatigued after playing 120 minutes on Saturday. I see a narrow away win with a clean sheet.

Key Stats – Sundowns to Take Three Points


  • TS Galaxy have lost 9 of their last 14 PSL matches.
  • TS Galaxy have failed to score in 4 of their last 7 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 13 of their last 17 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 12 matches.

Head to Head – Sundowns Hold the Advantage


Mamelodi Sundowns lead 8-4 versus TS Galaxy with two draws in 12 meetings.

TS Galaxy have won the last two meetings, including 3-2 in the league in May 2026.

Galaxy Unbeaten in Six – Began Season with a Draw


TS Galaxy have lost nine of their last 17 league matches, but they are unbeaten in their last six in the PSL.

After losing 2-1 vs Durban City in the Nedbank Cup final, they drew 1-1 at Marumo Gallants and 1-1 at home to Chippa United. A shock 3-2 home win over a distracted Mamelodi Sundowns followed.

TS Galaxy drew 0-0 away at Golden Arrows on the final day of last season. This term began with a 2-2 draw at Siwelele as they allowed 2.15 xG and 14 shots. 

Three League Wins in Seven – Sundowns Turned Focus to CAF Success


Sundowns ended last season by winning the CAF Champions League. In the PSL, they won just three of their final seven matches to surrender the title to Orlando Pirates.

After three draws in six rounds of PSL action, they lost 3-2 to TS Galaxy in their final fixture. They lifted the CAF Champions League by beating AS FAR Rabat 2-1 on aggregate, winning 1-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away in the second leg. 

Downs won two of five preseason friendlies during their tour to Spain. This season began with a 3-2 win in extra time over Polokwane City after conceding two cheap goals from set-pieces.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


TS Galaxy (3-5-2): Tape; Motaung, Xulu, Mncwango; Xulu, Mvelase, Mbunjana, Kakora, Mahlambi; Letsoalo, George.

Coach Bernard Parker used a back three in the opening match. Goalkeeper Sipho Maseti is suspended after his late red card in the last match. 

TS Galaxy are still under a FIFA transfer ban, so can not use any of their 14 new signings until they settle monies owed. 

Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Mdunyelwa, Johannes, Ndamane, Basadien; Allende, Mokoena; Van Wyk, Zwane, Matthews; Rayners.

Sundowns are without winger Monnapule Saleng due to a discipline issue. Nuno Santos could return to the squad in midfield after injury, but is not expected to start. 

Top striker Brayan Leon is available after suspension but may feature as a substitute. Cassius Mailula is pushing to start in attack after his winning goal in the MTN8 Cup on Saturday. 

Verdict

I see Sundowns getting the win in this match. A 1-0 score is my tip.
