Mamelodi Sundowns vs FAR Rabat Prediction

Mamelodi Sundowns need just one point to secure their spot in the knockout rounds but will aim to keep a sixth successive clean sheet at home. The Brazilians have typically been involved in tight games and this could be another keenly-contested affair.

FAR Rabat also need just one point to secure top spot in the group, having already guaranteed progression to the quarterfinal. Hubert Velut's side have not lost a game in over two months.
