• Competition: Premiership
• Date: Tuesday, 24th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET

AmaZulu's results have constantly declined over the years, and last year, they finished only six points away from the danger zone. This year, after an atrocious start, they changed the coach and started playing better, winning three out of the last four. They are now in 14th place with nine points in eight rounds - just one point away from the danger zone, but with three games played fewer. So, we can say that they are in a solid position right now compared to the start of the season.

Mamelodi Sundowns have been a dominant force in South Africa in recent years, winning the last seven league titles. Last year, they also managed to win the African Football League title after beating Wydad AC in the Finals. This year, Mamelodi Sundowns are doing great in the domestic league and look like the best team in the league. They are also on the path to secure the next phase in the CAF Champions League.

AmaZulu vs Mamelodi Sundowns pick: Mamelodi Sundowns to win and cover the -1 AH spread

AmaZulu are in good form, winning three out of the last four matches. Still, those wins came mostly against poor teams, and a good schedule is the primary reason for their good mini-run.

Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns are doing great this season in the Premiership, winning eight out of nine matches - 89%. They also covered the -1.5 AH spread on five out of those eight wins, and we believe they are a big favorite in this one.

In the previous season, Mamelodi Sundowns won both h2h games with a combined goal difference of 4:0. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we expect a comfortable win for the reigning champs.
