The DSTV Premier League is drawing to a close and Mamelodi Sundowns are in regular action as they bid to make up matches missed due to competing in Africa. We take a look at Tuesday nights clash with Royal AM and suggest a bet on the game.
Sundowns have already wrapped up the title and lead second place Stellenbosch by 16 points with 2 games in hand.
ROYAL AM
Royal AM have lost their last 4 matches and currently sit in 14th spot, just 2 points ahead of Richards Bay who occupy the relegation playoff position. They failed to score in their last 4 matches and have lost all of them, but their last 3 games all been 1-0 defeats, suggesting that the defence at least has improved.
Their last game was away to Mamelodi Sundowns on the weekend where they managed to hold Sundowns scoreless until the 85th minute when Sundowns grabbed the winner. Royal AM have lost their last 3 home matches in succession.

Royal AM 8/1

Mamelodi Sundowns 4/10
VERDICT
It is hard to look past Sundowns here even though Royal AM have far more to play for, namely their survival in the top flight.
Sundowns have conceded just 4 goals in 9 matches on the road, while Royal AM are scoring an average of under a goal a game at home. Based on those stats the 9/10 that Royal AM fail to find the back of the net looks decent value.
Suggested Bet: Royal AM under 0.5 goals at 9/10
Royal AM would chop your hand off for a point in this game and given they came within a few minutes of holding Sundowns to a goalless draw away from home just a few days ago. I think the 0-0 Correct Score play is worth a small bet.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 0-0 at 13/1
