Mamelodi Sundowns are heavily backed to win their first-ever encounter with Milford, showing impressive stats and recent form. With 16 wins in their last 21 PSL matches and strong offensive performances, Sundowns appear set for a dominant display. Milford, newly promoted, have started well but face a tough challenge against the seasoned champions. Predictions favor Sundowns to win comfortably, with potential for a clean sheet and beating the -2 handicap. Key lineups, injuries, and suspensions could influence the match, but Sundowns’ dominance remains clear.

It is hard to see anything other than a comfortable Sundowns win here. The handicap and win to nil markets are in play.

Key Stats - Sundowns Flying in New Season


  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 16 of their last 21 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have seen BTTS Yes in 11 of their last 15 matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have scored 8 goals in their last 2 matches.
  • Milford have lost 2 of their last 6 matches.
  • Milford have seen BTTS No in 8 of their last 10 matches.

First-Ever Clash


This is the first meeting between these clubs. 

Sundowns Showing Signs of Old Dominance


Sundowns have won just nine of their last 16 matches. They secured a place in October’s MTN8 Cup final against Orlando Pirates. 

Downs beat Marumo Gallants 2-0 in the league before a shock 1-0 home loss to Golden Arrows in the MTN8 semi-final first leg. That defeat came despite a 25-8 shot count in a dominant display.

Last midweek, Sundowns beat AmaZulu 5-2 in the league with a 21-8 shot count. In Sunday’s second leg vs Golden Arrows, Sundowns won 3-2 away and progressed to the final on away goals. 

Good Star to Life in the PSL for Milford


Milford have seven points from four rounds of action in the top flight. They were promoted from the First Division via the playoffs. 

Their opening match in the Betway Premiership was a 2-0 loss at Orlando Pirates. They beat Siwelele 1-0 at home despite being outshot 15-10.

Milford beat fellow new boys Kruger United with ten men and a 22-10 shot count in a fine performance. Their last match brought a credible 0-0 draw at Polokwane City as they dominated 16-7 on the shot stats.

Predicted Lineups & News


Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Goss; Mdunyelwa, Khoza, Ndamane, Modiba; T. Mokoena, Mkhulise; Matthews, B. Mokoena Van Wyk; Rayners.

Sundowns are without two defenders in Keanu Cupido and Khuliso Mudua due to injury. Coach Miguel Cardoso could heavily rotate his XI.

Arthur Sales and Tsiki Ntsabaleng are injured in attack. Iqraam Rayners could be handed a start as the number nine.

Milford (4-1-4-1): Hleza; Bhengu, Mthabela, Cele, Mdluli; Mthiyane; Zikakayo, Mabena, Nomandela, Gxakoshe; Masilela.

Milford’s coach and chairman, Dr Xanti Pupuma will keep a similar XI to the other matches. His squad lacks top -flight experience but carries a surprise element. 

Menzi Chili is suspended in midfield for this match after his red card against Kruger United.

Verdict

Sundowns are tipped for a victory with a clean sheet. I see them beating the -2 handicap.
