Mamelodi Sundowns, fresh from their CAF Champions League victory, face TS Galaxy to kick off their new PSL season. While Sundowns’ domestic form dipped due to continental focus, they remain strong, winning 13 of their last 17 league games. TS Galaxy, though unbeaten in their last six, struggle for goals and remain under a FIFA transfer ban. Despite TS Galaxy having won the last two against Sundowns, the Brazilians are tipped to edge a narrow victory, with betting odds favoring them to win, possibly 1-0.

Sundowns didn't end last season in the best of form but that was because they shifted their focus to the CAF Champions League - which they won. TS Galaxy have also won their last two against Sundowns, but the Brazillians should have the quality get this over the line.

Key Stats – Sundowns Winning Run


  • TS Galaxy have lost 9 of their last 14 PSL matches.
  • TS Galaxy have failed to score in 4 of their last 7 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have won 13 of their last 17 PSL matches.
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 12 matches.

Sundowns Hold the Edge


Sundowns have won eight and lost four of their 12 matches against TS Galaxy.

Unbeaten in Six for Galaxy


TS Galaxy have lost nine of their last 17 league matches, but they are unbeaten in their last six in the PSL.

After losing 2-1 vs Durban City in the Nedbank Cup final, they drew 1-1 at Marumo Gallants and 1-1 at home to Chippa United. A shock 3-2 home win over a distracted Mamelodi Sundowns followed.

TS Galaxy drew 0-0 away at Golden Arrows on the final day of last season. This term began with a 2-2 draw at Siwelele as they allowed 2.15 xG and 14 shots. 

Sundowns Start their PSL Season


Sundowns ended last season by winning the CAF Champions League. In the PSL, they won just three of their final seven matches to surrender the title to Orlando Pirates.

After three draws in six rounds of PSL action, they lost 3-2 to TS Galaxy in their final fixture. They lifted the CAF Champions League by beating AS FAR Rabat 2-1 on aggregate, winning 1-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away in the second leg. 

Downs won two of five preseason friendlies during their tour to Spain. This season began with a 3-2 win in extra time over Polokwane City after conceding two cheap goals from set-pieces.

TS Galaxy vs Sundowns Predicted Lineups & News


TS Galaxy (3-5-2): Tape; Motaung, Xulu, Mncwango; Xulu, Mvelase, Mbunjana, Kakora, Mahlambi; Letsoalo, George.

Coach Bernard Parker used a back three in the opening match. Goalkeeper Sipho Maseti is suspended after his late red card in the last match. 

TS Galaxy are still under a FIFA transfer ban, so can not use any of their 14 new signings until they settle monies owed. 

Mamelodi Sundowns (4-2-3-1): Williams; Mdunyelwa, Johannes, Ndamane, Basadien; Allende, Mokoena; Van Wyk, Zwane, Matthews; Rayners.

Sundowns are without winger Monnapule Saleng due to a discipline issue. Nuno Santos could return to the squad in midfield after injury, but is not expected to start. 

Top striker Brayan Leon is available after suspension but may feature as a substitute. Cassius Mailula is pushing to start in attack after his winning goal in the MTN8 Cup on Saturday. 

Verdict

I see Sundowns getting the win in this match. A 1-0 score is my tip.
