Mamelodi Sundowns and Al-Ahli SC will be hoping for a positive result in the second round of the Intercontinental Cup when they lock horns at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium. This is the first-ever meeting between these two sides in this competition, and given both sides' threat in the final third in their respective domestic campaigns, our prediction favors both teams to score.
It has been a terrific display from Mamelodi Sundowns in the Betway Premiership this season as they've yet to suffer defeat in eight games (W6, D2). This has them occupying the top spot with 20 points.
Masandawana will want to build on that impressive domestic form and translate it into success in their first appearance in the Intercontinental Cup. They qualified for this year's tournament by beating AS FAR Rabat 2-1 on aggregate in the CAF Champions League final four months ago.
As for Al-Ahli, they made their debut in the inaugural Intercontinental Cup last term. Unfortunately, their journey was cut short as they suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Egypt's Pyramids FC in the second round.
The Royals qualified for the current edition after clinching their second consecutive AFC Champions League Elite title last term, defeating Machida Zelvia 1-0 after extra time.
This marks their second consecutive appearance in this tournament. In this year's annual global tournament, their journey began in the first round. They beat ten-man Auckland FC 1-0 at home.
