AmaZulu FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
AmaZulu will get the biggest test of their season when they host league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns in the Wednesday Premier Soccer League (PSL) clash in Durban. The hosts have been on a fine run and go to this game with 40 points, placed second, six points below Sundowns. Focusing on the last five matches, AmaZulu have the best run in the league at the moment, having collected maximum points in those games. They’ve actually won each of their last six league matches and are unbeaten in the last 12. Going here with five straight clean sheets should give them the needed confidence to face the champions. Four straight wins at home and having played just once in the last 15 matches should give AmaZulu the impetus they need to blow Sundowns’ unbeaten record. The hosts have been performing well on both ends; in defence, they’ve conceded just once in the last seven games and it was a penalty in the 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs. New manager Benni McCarthy has changed the fortunes at the team; in 15 games in charge he has lost once and won 10. Also, 21 of the team’s 29 goals this season have been scored in McCarthy’s time.
Sundowns go to this game a jaded lot, with a heavy continental, league and cup schedule. While AmaZulu have played once in the last 15 days, this is going to be Sundowns’ fifth game in that same period. In their last game, Sundowns played to a 0-0 draw with TTM in the Nedbank Cup and lost on post match penalties. They have three wins, a draw and a loss in the last five matches across all competitions and will be really tested here. Still, the champions have the best defensive record, having conceded just 11 goals and have set the record for the longest unbeaten run in PSL, at 20 matches. The heavy schedule is definitely taking a toll on Sundowns as they have just one clean sheet in the last five matches, while they’ve failed to score in two of them. They’ve won each of their last four league matches but none of them has come with a clean sheet.

Our AmaZulu FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
AmaZulu normally go to this game as underdogs, and in this too they’ll be despite their impressive form of six straight wins in the league. Sundowns have also done well lately, just not as good as AmaZulu and most of it is down to fatigue as they play catch up matches. This will be Sundowns’ fifth game in 15 days and the cracks have been seen in recent matches. Meanwhile, the in-form side here is well rested and will be at home. This is the best ever opportunity for AmaZulu to beat Sundowns. Back the home team to win.
