Mamelodi Sundowns will be seeking to keep their hopes of setting a new DStv Premiership record of points alive when they visit AmaZulu on Wednesday evening.
DStv Premiership
Teams: AmaZulu v Mamelodi Sundowns
Date: 03 May 2023
Venue: Princess Magogo Stadium
Time: 19h30
Sundowns booked their spot in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League for the first time since 2019 after their 2-1 win over Belouizdad this past weekend in the quarter-final second-leg aggregated their thumping win to 6-2.
The Brazilians also ended their three-match winless run in the league a few days prior after edging Richards Bay 1-0.
Rulani Mokwena's charges are still on course to break their own record of 71 points they posted in the 2015/16 season under former coach Pitso Mosimane.
Sundowns can reach a maximum of 74 points if they win all their remaining three games.

AmaZulu, on the other hand, eased their relegation concerns after ending a four-game winless run with a 2-0 win over Sekhukhune United last weekend.
Usuthu went up to 11th on the table, just two points adrift of a top eight position and six points clear of the relegation zone.
AmaZulu will be without Sphesihle Maduna due to suspension after he was red-carded in the win over Sekhukhune.
The Tshwane side were made to sweat for their win over Usuthu in the reverse after a stoppage goal by Marcelo Allende gave them a 1-0 victory in September last year.

AmaZulu: 30. February, 5. Sikhakhane, 4. Hanamub, 23. Mphahlele, 2. Mobara, 4. Malepe, 50. Bwalya, 12. Maluleka, 7. Ntuli, 18. Brooks, 15. Zuma

Mamelodi Sundowns: 32. Williams, 34. Mashego, 3. De Reuck, 5. Lebusa, 8. Zungu, 31. Nkosi, 39. Maboe, 23. Domingo, 18. Zwane, 10. Sirino, 38. Shalulile.
