Mamelodi Sundowns face USM Alger in TotalEnergies CAF Supercup final

Mamelodi Sundowns will meet USM Alger in the TotalEnergies CAF Supercup final at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Tshwane on Sunday, 08 November 2026.

The match is scheduled to begin at 13:00 GMT, with coverage available on beIN CONNECT MENA HD, beIN Sports MENA 1 HD, SuperSport, Azam TV and Canal+ Sport Afrique.

The fixture brings together two of African football’s leading clubs, with Mamelodi Sundowns benefiting from home advantage in Pretoria as they pursue another continental trophy.

Previous meetings

The two sides have met competitively only once before, during the group stage of the 2019/20 CAF Champions League.

Mamelodi Sundowns won both matches. They recorded a 1-0 victory away to USM Alger on 28 December 2019 before completing a 2-1 home win on 11 January 2020.

Those results give the South African side a perfect record from their previous official encounters with the Algerian club.

Form and team outlook

Mamelodi Sundowns go into the final after being crowned African champions last summer following an impressive CAF Champions League campaign. They have also established themselves near the top of their domestic league, maintaining a strong collective run and beginning the season with significant ambitions.

USM Alger arrive as winners of the CAF Confederation Cup, having overcome Zamalek in a hard-fought final. The Algerian club can draw on the mental resilience shown during that campaign, even though their domestic performances at the start of this season have lacked consistency.

USM Alger nonetheless retain a reputation for competing strongly in major continental matches. Their defensive organisation and ability to threaten on the counter-attack could be important against a Mamelodi Sundowns side facing some uncertainty over the make-up of its usual starting XI.

Prediction and odds

Mamelodi Sundowns are regarded as favourites because they will play in familiar surroundings. However, any changes or doubts within their preferred line-up could give USM Alger encouragement and make the contest more closely fought than the home advantage suggests.

The pre-match prediction is a 1-0 victory for Mamelodi Sundowns.

The listed odds make Mamelodi Sundowns 1.58 to win, with the draw priced at 3.55 and a USM Alger victory at 5.30.
