Mamelodi Sundowns

 

Sundowns began their quest for a record sixth successive domestic league title with a 2-0 win away to Cape Town City with Modiba and Zwane on target in the second half but they found themselves on the wrong end of a shock result in midweek.

 

Wednesday's home fixture against TS Galaxy saw Sundowns go down 1-0, a jolt for favourite backers as by kick off time Downs were trading at around 3/10 to win that game.

 

Kaizer Chiefs

 

Chiefs also have 1 win and 1 defeat against their name. They made a disastrous start to their opening round visit to Royal AM, conceding a sloppy goal in the opening minute and although they enjoyed plenty of possession thereafter there was no way through and they went down 1-0.

 

Chiefs bounced back in midweek with a 3-0 home win over Maritzburg. Du Preez opened the scoring on 4 minutes, Dolly made it 2-0 on 24 minutes and Shabalala added the third in injury time.

 

Recent Head to Head

 

These teams met 3 times last season. In August Sundowns knocked Chiefs out of the MTN8 on spot kicks after a 2-2 draw.

 

Sundowns also won the first league meeting, 2-0 on home turf and the return, which was staged towards the end of the season when Downs were already assured of the title, finished all square at 1-1.

 

 

The Betting

 

In the early betting Sundowns are trading at around 17/20 to win the game with the draw at 9/4 and Chiefs can be backed at around 33/10

 

A game of 3 goals or more is 12/10 and it's even money for both teams to score.

The Verdict

 

It's not often Sundowns fire blanks so after the shock result in midweek I would expect a reaction and this youthful Chiefs side will need to be right on top of their game.

 

There will be a feel good factor in the Chiefs camp after a convincing win in midweek. They possess a goal threat with Du Preez, Dolly and Billiat and whilst this is a huge task I will take my chances with both teams registering a goal at some stage in the game.

 

Bet: Both teams to score? (yes) at even money with Betway
