Struggling Stellenbosch will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Mamelodi Sundowns in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the CAF Champions League.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Mamelodi Sundowns, who are travelling more than 1400 kilometers to play this game.
