Mamelodi Sundowns vs Cape Town City Prediction: The Brazilians will not lose back-to-back games

After losing their first league game of the season against Polokwane City, Mamelodi Sundowns will strive to flip the script against Cape Town City at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday. The Brazilians, who almost went the whole season without a defeat in the league, were beaten by Cape Town City on their home turf, and we feel they have a score to settle here tomorrow.

The Brazilians were tactically overwhelmed by their opponent on the road, losing their first league game of the campaign. After resting six of their first-team players, Mamelodi Sundowns failed to get a shot at goal in a game for the first time this year. Polokwane City took advantage of an unorganised Mamelodi Sundowns when they scored in the 82nd minute to amass all the points. 

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi has been blamed for the defeat, as fans can’t fathom why such numbers of their starting players were unable to start the game. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have picked up twelve points from a combined fifteen, scoring ten and conceding four. The Brazilians have all their games at home this season.

The Citizens have been themselves this season, winning once over their previous league games. More recently, they settled for a negative share of the spoils on their home ground against Magesi. They had nine shots in the entire game but couldn’t find the back of the net. It was a disappointing performance, but they celebrated the result because their opponent has been pretty decent lately. 

Cape Town City had a poor ending in their previous league campaign, as they finished below the top four for the first time in four years. Cape Town City have picked up five points from a combined twelve, scoring twice and conceding four. 

The Citizens have lost once over their previous five league matches on the road.  

Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven, while Cape Town City have recorded eight wins and five games ending in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. The guests have not found their rhythm this season and have managed one win over their last six games. At the same time, Mamelodi Sundowns head here with their first defeat of the season against Polokwane City. 

This fixture has been evenly contested in recent meetings, with two wins over their previous seven clashes. Mamelodi Sundowns are too big to suffer a back-to-back defeat, and we expect a positive response from them, considering the fact that they lost at home against the Citizens in the previous campaign.

Mamelodi Sundowns will likely win here, but we are, and this game will produce more than two goals for 2.01.

We anticipate more goals after the break for 2.07.

This game will end in favour of the home side, with no BTTS here for 2.36.

Good luck!
