Only the second game in the Premier League for these teams and it's all to play for here at Loftus Versfeld Stadium as Mamelodi Sundowns welcomes Tshakhuma. Check out this preview!

It's no vacation for neither Mamelodi nor Tshakhuma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Happy days for Mamelodi in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Kaizer Chiefs (placed 16th) that ended with a 3-0 victory.

Last season, Mamelodi Sundowns's league statistics were 17 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the League Cup. Over these 30 matches they scored 43 goals and conceded 22. Playing at home last season Mamelodi Sundowns managed 10-3-2 (win-draw-lost) with 20 goals and 7 conceded.

Tshakhuma form and stats

Tshakhuma seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

A loss against SuperSport United was the result prior to that, in a Mtn 8 Cup home game.

Let's have a look at how Tshakhuma performed last season in the First Division: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 6 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 36 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 2 and lost 9 with 13/23 goals scored/conceded.
