Cape Town City Form & News

City won six successive league matches to jump to second in the PSL table. They lost their last match and have dropped to fourth in the table.

A 2-1 home win over Chippa United and a 2-0 home win over Royal AM made it five league victories on the spin. A 1-0 victory at Golden Arrows saw an early own goal prove the difference.

In their last match, Cape Town City lost 1-0 at Stellenbosch FC.

Key striker Khanyisa Mayo is suspended. Jo Paciencia will lead the line.

Thato Mokeke is injured in central midfield. Jaeden Rhodes returns from a ban to start on the flank.

Sundowns have won all 11 of their PSL fixtures this season with eight clean sheets. They sit top of their CAF Champions League group.

After losing 1-0 at TP Mazembe, Downs won 1-0 at AmaZulu before a 0-0 home draw vs Pyramids FC. With a second string XI, they cruised 3-0 past Cape Town Spurs in the league.

On Tuesday, Masandawana won 1-0 away at Pyramids FC in the key clash in the CAF Champions League.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena has Rivaldo Coetzee back from injury at the back. Tebogo Mokoena is doubtful in midfield with an injury.

Centre back Mothobi Mvala is available again after injury. Bathusi Aubaas is ruled out in midfield and Abubeker Nasir is doubtful up front.

Verdict

Cape Town City v Mamelodi Sundowns

I'm tipping Downs to win yet again, with a clean sheet. City are missing their top striker and I don't see them scoring.
