Sundowns are in need of a redemptive win after they lost 2-1 to Magesi in the Carling Knockout final and had a slow start in the CAF Champions League group stages after a goalless draw against unfancied Maniema Union on Tuesday.
The Brazilians will have a chance to go top of the table on goal difference, as they are placed second on the table, three points behind leaders Orlando Pirates, who host Stellenbsoch on Sunday afternoon.
Sekhukhune, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back after a 3-1 defeat against TS Galaxy on Tuesday, which was their second loss in three league matches.
Lehlohonolo Seema's charges are placed seventh in the standings with ten points from six matches.
Masandawana have won the last three fixtures against Babina Noko, including a league double last season both by a 2-1 scoreline.
