AmaZulu

WLWWWL

AmaZulu will be wanting a better result here following a 0-2 Premier Division defeat last time out to Orlando Pirates.

In that match, AmaZulu had 37% possession and 2 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Orlando Pirates got 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Relebohile Mofokeng (16') was the scorer for Orlando Pirates.

Under three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where AmaZulu have been participants. With regard to the goal weighting in this period, opposing sides scored a total of 6 and AmaZulu managed a tally of 7. Despite that, it remains to be seen whether that pattern might be maintained in this upcoming game.

Their prior results show that AmaZulu:

• have not registered a win against Mamelodi Sundowns in home games against them for the last 3 league games.
• have left without a victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in their previous 7 matches in the league.

Mamelodi Sundowns

DWDWWW 📈

Mamelodi Sundowns will go into the game after a 1-2 Premier Division win to defeat Orlando Pirates in their previous match.

In that game, Mamelodi Sundowns managed 62% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Orlando Pirates got 7 shots at goal with 5 of them on target.

Over the course of 5 of the prior six games featuring Mamelodi Sundowns, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that period comes out as a mere 2, with the number of goals averaged by Sundowns equalling 1.5.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A quick look at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 03/05/2023 tells us that these encounters have not been happy ones for AmaZulu. They’ve not been able to register any victories whatsoever while Mamelodi Sundowns have remained in the ascendancy, getting wins in 83 per cent of those games played.

An aggregate of 13 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 2 of them for Usuthu and 11 being from Sundowns. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.17.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, AmaZulu have it in them to breach the defence of this Mamelodi Sundowns outfit, however a single goal probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of the match. It’s a very tough call.
