Mamelodi Sundowns vs SuperSport United prediction and betting tips on March 12, 2024
One of the matches of the 22nd round of the South African Premier League will be played on Tuesday evening in Pretoria, where at the "Lucas Moripe Stadium," the local Mamelodi Sundowns will host SuperSport United. Here's the forecast for this match from Dailysports experts.
Mamelodi Sundowns
Under Rulani Mokwena's guidance, the team approaches the match against SuperSport United after a home victory in the Premier League against Chippa United with a score of 2-0. Scoring the first goal as early as the 9th minute, the "Sundowns" struggled to consolidate their advantage and scored the second goal only five minutes before the end of the match. This victory strengthened the leading positions of "Sundowns" in the South African championship – Rulani Mokwena's boys are at the top of the table, leading Cape Town City, the nearest competitor, by 12 points. It's worth noting that Mamelodi Sundowns have not lost in the championship yet, securing 14 victories in 17 matches.
SuperSport United
At the moment, the "Matsatsantsa" occupy the fourth place in the league table, having the same number of points as Stellenbosch. At the same time, Orlando Pirates, thanks to successful performances in recent matches, have risen to the second place and are ahead of SuperSport United by one point. Overall, the battle for the second place and a spot in the Champions League is intense! On Saturday, Gavin Hunt's team hosted AmaZulu and failed to secure three points, drawing 1-1. This draw was already the third with such a score in the South African Premier League. At the same time, the team has been unable to win in the championship for four consecutive matches.
