Stade Malien have a mountainous task to overcome in the return leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-final when they welcome South African giants to the Stade du 26 Mars. The Malian club has a three-goal deficit to overcome. Let's get into the match prediction.
Stade Malien turned the underdog label in the group stages into motivation, securing the top spot in Group D. They amassed 11 points and maintained a two-point lead over second-placed Esperance Tunis. This was enough to see them secure their spot in the knockout stages.
However, their first-ever appearance in the quarter-finals as the first Malian club to achieve this milestone proved bittersweet. Les Blancs travelled to Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium to face Mamelodi Sundowns and lost 3-0.
That outcome was hardly surprising considering they controlled 21% of ball possession and one shot on target from eight attempts.
Immediately after that thrashing of Stade Malien in the first leg, Mamelodi Sundowns moved to the pinnacle of the Betway Premiership with a commanding 3-1 home win against Marumo Gallants on Tuesday.
Masandawana will want to build on that momentum to put the result against the Malian club in this competition beyond doubt. It's worth noting that they've won six consecutive matches across all competitions.
Success in the second leg of the CAF Champions League could see them reach the semi-final for the third consecutive time.

Our Stade Malien de Bamako vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
Stade Malien have a 3-0 goal deficit to overturn in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-final. It'll be an impossible task to achieve, considering their current poor form heading into this clash. Besides losing three consecutive matches in all competitions, they've failed to score in four outings.
That lack of cutting edge will play to Sundowns' advantage, who might approach this match with a defensive set-up and exploit counter-attacking opportunities. Their away form in this competition has been unconvincing, but right now, they are the in-form team. Our Stade Malien vs Mamelodi Sundowns prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns wins.
