Mamelodi Sundowns vs Esperance Tunis tips and predictions

Esperance Tunis can present questions for Mamelodi Sundowns

The short price for Mamelodi Sundowns renders them unbackable. Esperance Tunis don't look likely to get the win but they can make a fist of this. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Establishing something of a fortress at home, Mamelodi Sundowns have conceded only 3 goals in their last 17 matches. Meanwhile Esperance Tunis have conceded only 1 goal in their last 9 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 1 of the last 3 was a draw.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score due to the favouritism for Mamelodi Sundowns. If things are likely finish that way then the BTTS No that would be the recommended play.

Mamelodi Sundowns have drawn 8 of their last 18 matches. Also Esperance Tunis have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches. The feeling is it will be a low-scoring affair but with nothing of note in the match odds for either team, the value offered up by the draw price makes it the smart play for this particular game.
