Mamelodi Sundowns will be gunning for back-to-back victories for the first time this season when they travel to Sekhukhune United.
Teams: Sekhukhune United v Mamelodi Sundowns
Date: 20 August 2022
Venue: Peter Mokaba Stadium
Time: 15h00
Sundowns bounced back from their shock defeat to TS Galaxy in style by hammerring Kaizer Chiefs 4-0 last Saturday courtesy of a brace by Peter Shalulile and one goal apiece from Gaston Sirino and Abubeker Nasir.
The Brazilians picked up their second win of the campaign that moved them up to fifth on the table with six points. Sundowns also announced the resigning of midfielder Bongani Zungu just before their win over Chiefs.
Over to Sekhukhune, they will be looking for a response after a first loss of the season in a narrow 1-0 defeat against Richards Bay last weekend.
Babina Noko played the entire second stanza with ten men against Bay after Tashreeq Morris was sent off, before they succumbed to a late goal by Yamela Mbuthuma.
Kaitano Tembo's charges, who will be without the suspended Morris, dropped down to eighth on the log with four points.
Sundowns completed a league double over Sekhukhune last season, as they won by a 2-0 scoreline home and away.
