Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns was formerly known as Mamelodi United and is now nicknamed as “the Brazilians”. The club is one of the most titled in the Republic of South Africa. It has been the national champion for six years in a row. By the way, Mamelodi is also leading in the current Premier League.

Taking into account 7 previous rounds of the championship, the club celebrated 7 victories and confidently secured the 1st place in the standings (the goal difference is 14-2). Speaking about the squad of “the Brazilians”, it is reasonable to mention the midfielder, Lucas Costa, who has already scored 5 goals. And it is worth noting that Mamelodi is listed as the main favourite in the struggle for the championship title by bookmakers.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch was founded only in 2016. The team cannot boast of any significant victories or trophies in such a short period. The club is playing in the Premier League for the fifth season in its history. Its record is the 4th place in the elite division of 2021/2022.

The team looks unconvincing at the start of the new season. Having got 7 points in the asset, Stellenbosch is in the 14th position (only 2 points away from the relegation zone). Still, there is plenty of time to improve the situation. On the other hand, there are no special prospects – after all, Stellenbosch won in the South African Premier League more than a month ago.

Speaking about the results of the championship, Mamelodi has got a seven-match winning streak, moreover, it lost at the home arena back in October of the previous year.
