TS Galaxy vs Sundowns Predictions: The rockets will soar

TS Galaxy did the business in their last match, when they managed to pick up all three points against Orlando Pirates. They now sit fourth in the league standings, level on points with Supersports United. They face a big test in their next match, with Sundowns taking no prisoners in their last three matches. Can TS Galaxy beat the odds again and secure all three points?

3 Way - Mamelodi Sundowns @ 16/25

TS Galaxy have a mountain to climb if they are gonna repeat the heroics of last weekend. They come against South Africa's best side by a long distance. The numbers are scary to say the least, 28 games played, 22 wins, six draws, zero losses, 51 goals scored, nine goals conceded and 72 points on the board. Sundowns has now achieved one record-breaking feet, and that is to register the most amount of points in a DSTV Premiership season. In addition to this record, they still have one more record available to them, and that is the least amount of goals conceded in one DSTV Premiership season. The record at the moment stands at 11 goals conceded, if sundowns can continue their current run of clean sheets. Not only will the smash this record but, they will in essence bring the record down, to single digits.

As far as objectives go, Sundowns have different priorities from the rest of the league. TS Galaxy being part of the category that falls under the rest of the league. Their objective at this moment in time is to secure a position in the top four. They pulled off the un expected when they beat Orlando Pirates over the weekend. This put them level on points with Supersports United and one point ahead of Sekhukhune United. With 2 matches left this season, they are still vulnerable to results elsewhere. Especially if they drop points themselves over the next two fixtures.

Away Team Clean Sheet - Yes @ 19/20  

To challenge Mamelodi Sundowns at the minute is almost impossible. The side is far from what it was a few seasons ago. They are near perfection on the pitch with no perceivable flaws in their game. many thought that Stellenbosch who sit second in the league, may have caused an upset when they met on the weekend. However, Sundowns was flawless again, Having a penalty saved in the first half and enjoying 66% of the possession over 90 minutes. Golden Boot contender Iqraam Rayners was kept quit, only managing two shots on target, 15 touches of the ball and five accurate passes out of nine attempts. The back three of Coetzee, Aubaas and Mdunyelwa was impenetrable, even after the introduction of Lebusa, and Mvala in the later stages of the match.

TS Galaxy has an ace up their sleeve, with their goal scoring wideman Sphere Mahlangu. he has managed to find the back of the net, in each of his last three outings. He's scored four goals in those three matches, including one against Orlando Pirates. He was instrumental in the win, with his heat map covering their entire right side of the pitch. he managed 39 touches, 17 successful passes out of 24 attempts and when looking at his season statistics, he is one player Sundowns will want to shut down.

Sundowns are a difficult team to break down, it will take more than individual brilliance to stop the winning machine from Pretoria and that is why I have backed Sundowns to continue their unbeaten run. Possibly extending it to four wins in a row and five games without a loss.
