Match description
The favorite is Mamelodi Sundowns; I predict a home win ('1'). Sundowns top the table with a record of 18 wins, 7 draws and only 1 loss and a goal difference of 44-13; at home they average 2.42 goals scored and concede 0.67 goals per match, with 0% of home matches without scoring. Polokwane City have 9 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses; away they score on average 0.83 goals and fail to score in 42% of away matches, with an average away xG of 1.32. The difference in control and quality of chances is significant: Sundowns have 72% possession versus 43%, register 14.33 shots and 6.17 on target per game vs 11.42 shots and 3 on target for the visitors, and conversion is 17% versus Polokwane's 7%. Considering the lack of home defeats (0% losses), higher average points in the last 5 matches (2.2 vs 1.6) and the goals-per-game gap of 2.42 vs 0.83, I assess the probabilities as 75% for the home side, 15% for a draw and 10% for the away win.
