Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to maintain their perfect start in the DStv Premiership when they host TS Galaxy on Wednesday evening.
Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v TS Galaxy
Date: 10 August 2022
Venue: Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Time: 19h30
Sundowns got the defence of their title off to a dream start after beating Cape Town City 2-0 last Friday courtesy of goals by Aubrey Modiba and Themba Zwane at the DHL Stadium.
The Brazilians will also be eager to set the tone in their first home match and erase the memory of a 3-0 defeat to Stellenbosch in their final home game, which was their only defeat on home soil last term.
Galaxy, on the other hand, started their campaign with a goalless draw against AmaZulu, where former Sundowns midfielder Sibusiso Vilakazi made his debut.
The Rockets will be boosted by the availability of new signing Xola Mlambo, who missed their first game due to a suspension that he carried over from last season at his previous club Usuthu.
The Tshwane giants have a perfect record against Galaxy, as they have won all four head-to-head clashes since the Rockets started campaigning in the Premiership in the 2020/21 season.
