Match analysis
Golden Arrows have taken points off South Africa's dominant club Mamelodi Sundowns in three of the last five meetings between the two, none of those games a high-scoring one, which is why Superior backs Under 3.5 goals at 1.26 for their Premier Soccer League fixture on 6 September, a 72 percent probability.
Golden Arrows have not been overrun by Sundowns lately
Of the last five meetings, Golden Arrows have won two and drawn one, results built on tight scorelines rather than a Sundowns procession, including a 1-0 Arrows win as recently as September last year. Sundowns' attack rates well ahead of most of the league, but their two wins in this head to head run were 3-2 and 2-1, hardly routs.
Sundowns' 2-3 away win is the recent evidence against this
LOSES IF: four or more goals combined. Sundowns won the most recent meeting between these two 3-2 just last week, a genuine shootout, and their season-long scoring rate of 2.4 goals a game is the strongest in this matchup. If that version of Sundowns' attack turns up again rather than the tighter games earlier in this head to head sample, the total is beaten.
