Mamelodi Sundowns have had a lot of football action this year so far and their most recent fixture took place in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League, where they played Mbabane Swallows and won 4-0. Prior to this they played the MTN 8 Cup, winning 1-0 in the Quarters against Polokwane City, they then lost 1-0 against Stellenbosch in both games across 2 legs to fall out of the tournament in the last 4.
SuperSport United had their most recent clash at the MTN 8 Cup as well, where they met Orlando Pirates in the Quarters and lost 3-1 keeping their run in the competition short and sweet. Last season they placed 7th in the league, winning 11, drawing 11 and losing 8 of their 30 matches and they were undefeated in their last 4 matches of the season.

Mamelodi Sundowns 1.50
Draw 4.30
SuperSport United 7.00
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Across the last 5 head to head games over the past year and a half, Sundowns have won 3 with Super Sport winning 1 and 1 match ending as a draw. These sides met twice last season in the league where Sundowns won the first match 2-0 away from home. The second match ended as a 1-1 draw.
PREDICTION
I believe this will be a closely contested encounter as this fixture has been in previous years, but I think Sundowns will come away with the win, with both teams finding the back of the net.
