After a 0-0 home draw vs Polokwane City to end 2023, Sundowns drew 1-1 at home to ten-man Orlando Pirates. A resounding 6-1 win vs lower league La Masia in the Nedbank Cup was followed by a 2-0 win at Nouadhibou.

In midweek, they scored three goals in the second half in a 3-0 home victory over AmaZulu.

Defenders Mothobi Mvala and Khuliso Mudau are out injured. Mosa Lebusa is available at the back after a suspension.

Peter Shalulile is set to start up front. Lucas Ribeiro scored a hattrick vs AmaZulu and will keep his place.
