The penultimate matchday in the group stage of the CAF Champions League will see Maniema Union play host to Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon. The Greens and Blacks are at the bottom of the Group B standings while the Brazilians are second. Let’s get into the match prediction.

It’s crunch time for Maniema Union. They are currently on three points after four games and a defeat here will see them eliminated from qualification contention to the knock rounds. 

The Greens and Blacks are yet to win a game in his competition, losing their last match 2-0 to FAR Rabat after drawing their first three fixtures. So far, they have only scored twice in the Champions League. 

However, the hosts have been very good at home this season, unbeaten after seven matches across all competitions, while having scored two or more goals in four of their last six. 

Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns have taken five points from their first four games in this competition and can qualify for the knockouts if they win here and Raja Casablanca lose their match against FAR.

The Brazilians lost their first match in the Champions League last week 1-0 away to Casablanca, which ended their seven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. 

On the road, the visitors have a record of seven wins one draw and three defeats in league and cup competition this season, but they have kept three clean sheets in their last four outings.
