Magesi and Mamelodi Sundowns are set to clash for the first time. Magesi, coached by Clinton Larsen, is on a five-match winning streak with a strong defense strategy but performing above their xG. However, they face a strong Sundowns side, who have won 11 of their last 12 matches. Sundowns are predicted to win, keeping a clean sheet and achieving a victory by more than one goal. The predicted scoreline is 2-0 in favor of Sundowns.

Magesi vs Mamelodi Sundowns Predictions


Magesi coach Clinton Larsen has built a solid side. However, they’re overperforming their xG and face a formidable Sundowns side. I see a win to zero and on the -1 handicap for Downs.

Magesi Form & Team News


Magesi began this season with successive defeats. A seven-match unbeaten run has followed with five clean sheets.

They performed a giant-killing in the last-16 of the Carling Knockout Cup by winning 3-2 at Orlando Pirates. A 0-0 draw at Cape Town City saw just 29% possession before a 2-2 home draw vs Kaizer Chiefs having led 2-0.

They won 1-0 at TS Galaxy in the quarter-finals and then 1-0 at Richards Bay in the semi-final to reach this showpiece.

Coach Clinton Larsen has named an unchanged XI for five straight matches. With no suspensions, he will not make any changes here. 

Expect a low block with a counter-attacking game. The speed of forward Wonderboy Makhubu and winger Edmore Chirambadare will be key.

Magesi Predicted Lineup


Chipezeze; Abrahams, Mvaza, L. Mokone, J. Mokone; Darpoh, Mekoa; Mashigo, Kakora, Chirambadare; Makhubu.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns have been flying of late. Their last 12 matches have brought 11 victories and 34 goals scored. 

A shock 1-0 loss at Polokwane City came after seven straight wins. They responded by trouncing Cape Town City 3-0 at home and Kaizer Chiefs 4-0 away in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals. 

Before the FIFA break, they won 2-0 at home to Polokwane City in the league and 2-0 at Marumo Gallants in the cup semi-final.

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi is without midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee due to a knee injury. Bathusi Aubaas is set to replace him.

A number of players were away on international duty but they all seem to have come through unscathed. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Lebusa, Modiba; Mokoena, Aubaas, Allende; Ribeiro, Shalulile, Rayners.
