Mamelodi Sundowns are tipped to win to nil against USM Alger in the Super Cup, with a 1-0 correct score also suggested. Sundowns have won 7 of their last 8 home matches and both previous meetings with USM Alger. The hosts have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 3 home games, while USM Alger have shown inconsistent form, finishing 10th in their league last season. Sundowns have some defensive injuries, but key players are expected to be fit for this match.

Sundowns have a superb home record with seven wins in their last eight. They are backed to win to nil in the Super Cup.

Key Stats - Seven Wins in Eight at Home for Sundowns


  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 7 of their last 8 home matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 3 home matches.
  • USM Alger have lost of their last 15 away matches.
  • USM Alger have seen BTTS No in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Sundowns Won Both Meetings


These clubs have met on two previous occasions, with Sundowns winning both clashes.

In the 2019-20 CAF Champions League, Sundowns won 1-0 away and 2-1 at home in two meetings.

Sundowns 11 Wins in 14 Matches


Sundowns’ CAF Champions League defence ended in the qualifying rounds. This match represents an opportunity to win a third trophy of the season after lifting the FIFA African–Asian–Pacific Cup and the MTN 8 Cup.

The Brazilians drew 0-0 in Angola and could only draw 1-1 away vs Wiliete to crash out of the CAF Champions League on away goals. A 1-0 win followed vs Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout Cup.

They’ve since won 4-1 at home in the league vs Durban City. In midweek, a second-half goal was enough to win 1-0 at home vs Golden Arrows in the quarter-finals of the Carling Knockout. 

USM Alger Inconsistent Form


USM Alger finished 10th in the Algerian Ligue 1 last season with 15 draws in 30 matches. They beat Zamalek on penalties in the CAF Confederations Cup final. 

This season has seen four wins in seven league matches. A 1-0 loss at Rouisset was followed by a 1-0 home win over Saoura. They enjoyed a walkover win vs Equatorial Guinean club Panthers FC in the CAF Confederation Cup due to their opposition’s financial difficulties. 

Last Saturday, they won 2-0 away at Constantine in Ligue 1. Mohamed Ramdaoui scored a first-half brace in that victory.

Predicted Lineups & News


Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Matuludi, Khoza, Ndamane, Basadien; Aubaas, Allende; Ndlovu, Santos, Matthews; Leon.

Sundowns will make late decisions on the involvement of two key men. Goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and midfielder Teboho Mokoena are expected to be passed fit to play. 

Grant Kekana, Keanu Cupido, Kegan Johannes and Khuliso Mudau are all out injured in defence. Brayan Leon could play up front despite a nine-match scoring drought. 

USM Alger:

Coach Lamine Ndiaye is set to pick his best XI. 

The Algerian giants will arrive in Tshwane hoping to frustrate Sundowns and cause an upset. 

Verdict

I'm tipping a Sundowns win to zero and with a 1-0 correct score bet.
