Mamelodi Sundowns - Esperance Sportive De Tunis Prediction and Best Odds:

Mamelodi Sundowns would likely have been disappointed to have left Tunisia with a deficit to make up, as they were the dominant side for large portions of the first leg. They had 61% of the possession and made almost double the number of passes as their opponents, but the major issue was their inability to create many clear-cut chances despite seeing plenty of the ball. However, the Brazilians will be expecting a much different scenario here, returning to the fortress that is Loftus Versfeld. Sundowns are on a three-match winning streak at this venue and have not tasted defeat in Pretoria since October 2022 - a total of 38 games unbeaten in all competitions. In addition, they have not conceded a single goal at home in the CAF Champions League this season. As a result, it’s fairly unsurprising that the hosts are the clear favourites in this match. 

Meanwhile, ES Tunis have one major advantage over their opponents. Unlike Sundowns, who were in midweek action against Sekhukhune United in the PSL, Tunis have had the full week off since the first leg. Not only will they come into the match well-rested, but they are also carrying excellent form into the contest, unbeaten this term and already leading the Ligue 1 standings by six points with only four rounds of matches complete. The visitors are likely to prioritize a clean sheet here, which will be enough to see them reach the final. To that end, they have been impeccable in defence this season, conceding only three goals in five away matches in this season's competition, and all of those came in one match. Playing in transition is going to be crucial for the visitors here, and an early goal will put them firmly in the driver’s seat.
