We take a look at the DSTV Premiership clash between TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday night and suggest a bet in the game.
TS Galaxy are currently 4th on the table, but a poor finish to the season could see them end as low as 7th. Galaxy are undefeated in their last 4 games and beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 at home last time out, a game where they started 3/1 underdogs. They previously been coming off 3 away draws. They have only lost twice at home this season and only Mamelodi Sundowns have a better home record than them.
Sundowns wrapped up their title defence with consummate ease and they are currently 22 points clear of second place Stellenbosch with a game in hand. They are undefeated in 28 matches this season and have only conceded 9 goals in that time while scoring 51. Sundowns are coming off 3 successive victories, most recently 1-0 away at Stellenbosch and they haven’t conceded a goal in the League in 4 matches.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Sundowns beat Galaxy 3-0 at home earlier in the season and last season they won this fixture 2-1.
TS Galaxy home games have seen 6 of the 14 matches deliver profits for over 2.5 goal backers this season and Galaxy themselves have conceded just 8 goals in 14 home games. Only 3 of the 14 Mamelodi Sundowns away games have reached the 3 goal mark and incredibly Mamelodi Sundowns only conceded 4 goals on the road to date.

VERDICT
I have been impressed the way Sundowns have kept their focus despite having wrapped up the League a good few games back. They are certainly worthy favourites here, but I don’t think TS Galaxy are without a chance of at least getting a point. This game pits one of the best home defences against the best away defence in the League and all signs point to a low scoring game and I am going to back Mamelodi Sundowns to keep their 5th clean sheet in a row.
Suggested Bet: TS Galaxy, Total Goals under 0.5 at 21/20
