On Oct 25th, Maritzburg United will host Mamelodi Sundowns at Harry Gwala Stadium in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 21 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Maritzburg United sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against AmaZulu. Hellings Mhango struck first for AmaZulu in the 39th minute on a feed from Maduna, then Samy tied it up for Maritzburg United in the 77th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Maritzburg United. Maritzburg United looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 1st placed Mamelodi Sundowns, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Tshakhuma. Sphelele Mkhulise scored the first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 28th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Tshakhuma was frustrated by Mamelodi Sundowns’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Mamelodi Sundowns ended the match with the shutout victory. Mamelodi Sundowns is on a hot streak lately, with 7 wins in their last 10 matches.
