One of the big games lined up in the CAF Champions League this week will see South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns play host to TP Mazembe of Congo DR. It is Match Day 4 and ahead of this Group B game, Sundowns leads with nine points and TP Mazembe are second with two points. In their meeting in Congo on Match Day 3, Sundowns scored a late goal to win it 2-1 despite having had Ricardo Nascimento sent off earlier. The South Africans are enjoying a good season and head to this game with nine straight wins and a 24-match unbeaten run. In their last five matches, Sundowns have scored 15 goals, kept two clean sheets and conceded three goals. At home, they have four clean sheets in the last five matches. In the Champions League alone, Sundowns are unbeaten in six matches, with five wins in there. They’re undefeated in their last 21 home matches in this competition.

TP Mazembe have won their last two matches after that home loss to Sundowns, and with four clean sheets in five matches, they will be confident enough heading to South Africa. The Congolese giants are coming from a 6-0 win over RCK in the local league, and earlier beat Simba 2-0. The loss to Sundowns was the team’s only defeat in 23 matches, and they have 10 wins in the last 15 matches. Winless in their three opening matches in this group, Mazembe will be hoping the bad start ends here, though they have just one loss in six matches in this competition. Still they need a lot of improvement in their away form in this competition, having managed just two wins in their last 16.
