A short glance at the Premier League standings suggest an upper hand to Mamelodi Sundowns when they travel to TS Galaxy. However; let's wait for the game before we award the win!

  • TS Galaxy have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Premier League
  • Mamelodi Sundowns have the most scored goals (36) in Premier League

Mamelodi Sundowns could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a CAF Champions League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Al Ahly. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
