sad news; Prediction and betting advice for Mamelodi Sundowns vs. Orlando Pirates on June 1, 2024
All other events will take on less significance on June 1st, when the Champions League final takes place, but that day also features the South African Cup final. Orlando Pirates versus Mamelodi Sundowns. Experts from DailySports have produced their pick for this matchup.
Mamelodi has been spending well this season, as has the squad. The championship was won by a wide margin, with the closest competitor trailing by 23 points. The team won every game they played during the competition, with the exception of a 0:1 home loss to Keptown City in the last round, even though they had the upper hand.
With strong play, they advanced to the African Champions League semifinals, when they were defeated twice by Esperance from Tunisia, both times by the same score of 1:0. The team now has a strong opportunity to accomplish a “golden double” at home.
Due in part to a direct competitor’s mishaps, Orlando’s “pirates” were unable to force the championship match against Mamelodi this season; they ended second in the rankings and ahead of third-place Stelnebosch only on additional metrics.
Orlando did manage to take home one trophy, the MTN 8 Cup. It may not have been the most prestigius competition, but it is still a victory. The formidable current champion should be faced in the fight for the national cup. The existing shape raises a lot of concerns, but the tone should be aggressive.
