175%(1.18)
X17%(5.25)
28%(11.00)

Mamelodi Sundowns demonstrate decisive dominance in home matches with an 88% win rate and an impressive +15 goal difference. The hosts maintain great form with four victories in their last five encounters, scoring an average of 2.38 goals per match while conceding just 0.5 goals. Golden Arrows have very poor results on the road - only 11% matches won and a staggering 67% losses, with an average of 1.78 goals conceded.
