DStv Premiership
Teams: SuperSport United v Mamelodi Sundowns
Date: 02 September 2022
Venue: Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium
Time: 19h30
Sundowns progressed to the MTN8 semi-finals at the expense of SuperSport with a 2-0 win last weekend, although it took them the last ten minutes to break the deadlock.
The Brazilians will be looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time this season after getting back to winning ways with a 3-0 thrashing of Stellenbosch the last time out.
Sundowns currently sit second on the table with 10 points, one point behind leaders Orlando Pirates and will move top if they clinch maximum points.
Cross-town neighbours, Matsatsantsa meanwhile, had a tough start to the season and only picked up their first win after edging Richards Bay 1-0 just before meeting Sundowns in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
Gavin Hunt's troops are placed 14th on the table with five points and a win could take them into the top eight before the weekend round of fixtures.
Matsatsantsa will still be without goalkeeper Ricardo Goss, Grant Margeman and Thabang Sibanyoni, as they are unable to feature against their parent club.
SuperSport will be looking to beat Sundowns in the league for the first time since April 2019.
Here's how they line up:
SuperSport United: Chigova, Dithlokwe, Hlatshwayo, Lungu, Bhasera, Nhlapo, Mbatha, Maseko, Johannes, Grobler, Rayners
Subs: Pule, Philipps, Rapoo, Donn, Maziko, Ngoma, Webber, Maswanganyi, Gabuza
