Mamelodi Sundowns vs TP Mazembe Prediction and Betting Tips | March 2, 2024

Mamelodi Sundowns host TP Mazembe at FNB Stadium in the CAF Champions League on Saturday (March 2).

This is the final matchday of the group stage, with six teams through to the quarterfinals, while two spots are up for grabs. This clash is a dead rubber, as both teams hold are already through to the next round from Group A with 10 points each.

Masandawana, though, will seek to take their revenge on the visitors, who prevailed 1-0 in the reverse fixture in Lubumbashi. The Sundowns claimed the bragging rights, winning 3-0 on aggregate in their previous tie in 2021, as they seek to extend their unbeaten home run to 17 games.

Mazembe, meanwhile, did not make it to the group stage last season. The DR Congo giants crashed out in the second qualifying round following a 4-2 loss to Ugandan side Vipers. Mazembe’s brilliant run this campaign (W5, D1, L1) has raised expectations over their title credentials, though.

Les Corbeaux have won the CAF Champions League five times but haven't done so since 2015. They have reached the semifinals once and quarterfinals twice since then.

The visitors will be eyeing their first away win against Sundowns but likely face a tough contest at the FNB Stadium.
