Pyramids FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | CAF Champions League 2024-25 final second leg

The first leg between the two teams ended in a draw.

Pyramids FC are ready to go head-to-head against Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of the CAF Champions League 2024-25 final. The two teams are set to play the high-stakes fixture at the 30 June Air Defence Stadium.

Pyramids FC scored an equaliser in the dying moments of the first leg of the final and secured a draw. It was a crucial goal for them as they would not be under much pressure now. It is going to be a tough fixture, but as they will be at home, the team will be looking to turn the tide around.

This will be an away fixture for Mamelodi Sundowns, which might keep them under slight pressure right from the start. They did come up with a good performance in the CAF Champions League final first leg, but were punished in the final moments because of their loose defence.

Both sides are in to grab the big prize, but only the better team will clinch the African Champions League title.
