Cape Town City vs Mamelodi Sundowns Betting Tips: Mamelodi to Win
After a rough start to the current 2023-24 domestic season, Cape Town City has shown recent signs of recovery and has firmly re-established its position in the race for African competitions.
Eric Tinkler’s team has risen to fourth place with 26 points, thanks to victories in six of their last seven league games. They are now just a point away from Supersport, who are in second place and hold the African Champions League ticket.
The Blue and Gold Army missed the opportunity to secure the second spot in their last outing as they left Stellenbosch with a 1-0 defeat, ending their impressive streak of six consecutive victories.
Moreover, Cape Town’s comeback to one of the positions that guarantee access to the African stage might be delayed. This is due to an impending visit from the unchallenged leader of South African football, Mamelodi, who has been dominating relentlessly since the start of the season.
“Bafana ba Style” is marching unstoppably towards their seventh consecutive top-flight title this season in South Africa, having earned an impeccable 33 points from the first 11 rounds. They have enjoyed years without any serious competition.
The club based in Pretoria’s unmatched and highly dominant performance in the current campaign is best exemplified by their impressive seven-point lead over the nearest title contender, Supersport, even though they have played three fewer matches.
Remarkably, Sundowns have conquered all seven DStv Premiership away fixtures with an imposing goal difference of 11-1, and confidently envision maintaining their 100% record. While recent clashes of these two sides have been fairly tight, we are hopeful that the champions of South Africa will find a path to triumph, just as they did in their last visit to DHL Stadium, cruising past Cape Town with a routine 2-0 victory.

Cape Town City team news
Juggling a series of impressive victories, six out of seven matches, coach Eric Tinkler is compelled to shuffle the starting XI with two changes after the Stellenbosch encounter ended on a sour note with a 0-1 defeat at the start of December.
Despite captain Thamsanqa Mkhize exiting the field in the 81st minute due to injury, his participation on Sunday remains uncertain, while the home team grapples with the shock of Khanyisa Mayo‘s (7 goals) absence after being sent off for simulation.

Mamelodi Sundowns team news
For their part, Mameloidi have lost one player in each of their previous three matches across all competitions as Thapelo Morena joined Abdelmounaim Boutouil and Lesiba Nku in the treatment room after picking up an injury in matchday four of the African Champions League against Pyramids.
Having seen his team go four straight matches without conceding, boss Rulani Mokwena is ready to re-launch the usual back three which has become granite and impenetrable.
