Supersport United vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
The South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) is all set for the Tshwane derby this weekend, when the two best performing sides in the league face off – SuperSport United hosting Mamelodi Sundowns. The clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria pits two sides with just two points separating them; SuperSport in second place with 22 points while Sundowns top with 24 points. This is without doubt a top clash and the spoils are even bigger for the winner, with the assurance of being top of the league after the 11th round of matches. SuperSport United are unbeaten in their last six matches and are coming from a 2-1 win over Bloemfontein Celtic where the two in-form forwards Thamsanqa Gabuza and Bradley Gobler both scored. In the team’s six match unbeaten run, five are wins, while they have just one clean sheet in the last eight matches and only failed to score in one of the last 10 games. SuperSport have scored two goals or more in each of their last six matches and Gabuza and Gobler have scored a combined 11 goals. Gobler is the league’s lead scorer with 10 goals and has been on the score sheet in each of the team’s last six matches. At home, SuperSport are unbeaten in 11 matches, with eight wins therein and have just one loss in their last 17 home games. However, it has not been a smooth ride against Sundowns; they have three losses and just a win in the last five meetings and SuperSport will be hoping to do better, especially as they go here with the leakiest defence in the top four. They have conceded 11 goals so far.
Mamelodi Sundowns are also enjoying fine form and will be seeking to extend their dominance over SuperSport United here. They are ion four straight wins, the most recent coming against Baroka, the 2-0 win serving their third clean sheet in four matches. Sundowns are unbeaten in 12 matches and have 10 clean sheets in their last 15 matches while they have scored two or more in seven of the last 10 matches. Over the recent seasons in the PSL, Sundowns have been the best team, and going to this game, they have lost just three of their last 30 league matches. For them, scorers are more distributed than SuperSport and they have nine goals in the last five matches. Themba Zwane is the team’s lead scorer and after missing four matches, returned to score against Baroka, while Mothobi Mvala has three goals in their last five matches. Sundowns have the best defence in the league, having conceded just five goals and an array of top strikers makes them, alongside SuperSport, the highest scoring teams at this point of the season, with 19 goals each.

Our Supersport United vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
This is a top clash in the PSL and the two sides bring to the fore contrasting qualities. The biggest similarity between the two is in the quality of attack, but we feel the defences will be the ones to make the big difference. SuperSport have not had the best of performances defensively, while Sundowns are so far the meanest in defence in the league. With the quality of attackers on show, and Themba Zwane also returning, both sides scoring seems very realistic, but we are backing Sundowns to edge their hosts.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
