TP Mazembe vs Mamelodi Sundowns stats and predictions

As it stands, Mamelodi Sundowns lead the Group B standings with three points. TP Mazembe, on the other hand, are in third place with no points, and a -1 goal difference. This will be the second round of fixtures, so both teams will be eyeing all three valuable points.

Prediction 1: Mamelodi Sundowns to win

TP Mazembe and Mamelodi Sundowns will meet for the sixth time in nine years. Interestingly, Masandawana have dominated their opponents in the past; as they have four wins in the last four meetings between these teams.

In fact, the Sundowns came out on top the last three times they squared off against TP Mazembe. It's also important to note that Rhulani Mokwena‘s men have won three matches in a row, across all competitions. Despite being the underdogs, we are fairly confident that the visitors will take all the points from this match.

Prediction 2: One team to keep a clean sheet

We've already established that Mamelodi Sundowns are on a three-match winning run. It may also interest you to know that they didn't concede any goals in that stretch.

As a matter of fact, Masandawana kept seven clean sheets in their last eight games in all competitions, conceding just twice. Both teams scored in just nine of their last 11 matches.

In the same vein, at least one team blanked in three of five previous clashes between these teams; and for this reason, we shouldn't expect goals at both ends.

Prediction 3: Under 2.5 goals

Our last TP Mazembe vs Mamelodi Sundowns prediction is on the over/under goals market. We would like to point out that three of the last five skirmishes between these teams went below the 1.5 goal mark.

Similarly, Masandawana have been very solid defensively; and because of that, their matches have mostly been on the low-scoring side. Less than three goals were scored in six of Mamelodi Sundowns' last eight games. For this reason, we believe that this will be a low-scoring affair.
