Sundowns have never played Sibanye Golden Stars.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form

Mamelodi Sundowns is currently top of the PSL table with 11 wins and one draw from their 12 games. They are currently unbeaten in nine of their last 10 games in all competitions.

The defending PSL champions and former Nedbank Cup winners are huge favourites for this encounter against a side a few divisions down. However, top level sides often fall at this stage when underestimating the opponents.

Since Sundowns lost 1-0 at Raja Casablanca in the CAF Champions League at the start of January, they have beaten Maniema Union away, drawn at home to FAR Rabat in the same competition and beaten Magesi 2-1 in the PSL.

Sundowns are very likely to rest a host of star players for this clash. This should be comfortable for them without straining too many players.

Sibanye Golden Stars Form

Sibanye Golden Stars play I the ABC Motsepe League and have an opportunity of a lifetime in the Nedbank Cup last 32 this weekend.

Golden Stars will be hoping for a performance of a lifetime to upset the odds and shock the PSL champions. While unlikely, it wouldn’t be the first time the minnows caused havoc in the Nedbank Cup.
