Match description
I back a Mamelodi Sundowns win: the visitors sit 1st with a season record of 16 wins, 5 draws and only 1 loss, while Durban City have 10 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the last 5 matches Sundowns scored 12 goals and average 2.4 points per game, whereas Durban scored 4 goals and average 1.6 points per game, clearly underlining the visitors’ attacking superiority. Away, the visitors average 13.27 shots (4.0 on target), 71% possession and xG 1.63, while the hosts at home average 12.45 shots (3.73 on target), 47% possession and xG 1.40 — Sundowns therefore create more and better chances. Durban do, however, have a solid home defence: only 0.55 goals conceded per game, 55% clean sheets and 64% home win rate, which can hinder a large-margin victory for the visitors. Considering Sundowns’ 41 goals versus the hosts’ 20 this season along with superior xG and form (12 vs 4 goals in the last 5), I give the visitors the higher probability, with a moderate chance of a draw.
