Prediction published on 15/01/2023, 05:57  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier Soccer League Prediction

SuperSport United will be looking to complete a double over Mamelodi Sundowns when the two giants of South African football face off on Monday. Sundowns will host this game aiming to open up a 14-point gap. They currently lead the standings with 40 points while SuperSport United have 27 points in third place. Sundowns lost 2-1 to SuperSport in the first meeting between the two sides, and that remains one of the two losses they’ve suffered this season in the league. Coming into this game, they beat Chippa United 2-1 for their eighth straight win in all competitions and they have 10 straight wins in the league, the last team to beat them being SuperSport, back in September. With eight clean sheets in 10 league games since losing to SuperSport, Sundowns will be quite confident here. They’ve scored two or more goals in six of their last eight home league matches and have only lost once in the last eight games against SuperSport United.

SuperSport United have the chance to go second in the league standings and challenge Sundowns’ race to yet another league title. They will, however, have to do better than they did in the last game, which ended in a 2-1 away loss to Golden Arrows. That defeat cut their run of six matches undefeated and also their two straight wins. In 10 league matches, SuperSport United have managed just three clean sheets but they have scored in each of the 10 matches, with both teams scoring in six of the 10 games. six of their last 10 matches have also produced over 2.5 goals. These two are the best scoring sides in the PSL so far this season, and their goal scoring threats remain even as they are expected to employ caution going into this game. Their loss to Golden Arrows was the second in four matches away from home, after earlier falling 2-1 to Kaizer Chiefs.
