Mamelodi has a nice streak going on as they have played 16 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the AmaZulu defeat 119 days ago.
The Mamelodi supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Baroka in Premier League and win 2-1. Mamelodi Sundowns made it very difficult for themselves, when Erasmus got a red card in the 45th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Mamelodi won the match 2-1!
In the game before, an away victory match versus SuperSport United with a 1-0 scoreline.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Mamelodi's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won four matches, drawn two and lost zero.
The manager Mokwena will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AmaZulu in only three days.
