Cape Town City vs Mamelodi Sundowns Betting Tips: Mamelodi to Win

Having weathered a rather turbulent kick-off to the ongoing domestic 2023-24 campaign, Cape Town City is displaying signs of resurgence lately, fully reinserting itself into the race for African competitions.

Thanks to triumphs in six of the last seven league affairs, Eric Tinkler's men jumped to fourth with 26 points, coming within just a point of second-placed Supersport, owner of the African Champions League ticket.

The chance to take the second spot slipped through the fingers of the Blue and Gold Army last time out, as they departed from Stellenbosch empty-handed following a 0-1 loss, bringing an end to their stellar string of six successive wins.

Furthermore, Cape Town's return to one of the spots that secure access to the African stage could face a delay, as they will be visited by the undisputed ruler of South African football, Mamelodi, who has been trampling everything in their path since the season's inception.

Without any real competition for years, "Bafana ba Style" are on an unstoppable march towards their seventh consecutive top-flight title in South Africa this season, having earned a flawless 33 points from the initial 11 rounds.

The Pretoria-based club's unrivaled and overwhelmingly dominant display in the ongoing campaign is best illustrated by their staggering seven-point lead over the closest title contender, Supersport, despite having played three matches less.

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.
