Mamelodi Sundowns and Supersport United confirmed their starting lineups for this evening’s Tswhane Derby at Loftus Versfeld stadium.
Can Sundowns extend their winning run to 11?
Rulani Mokwena’s side last lost a league match against their Tshwane rivals against Matsatsantsa in September, since then they’ve been on the run of 10 straight wins.
The defending league champions have a 13 point lead on top and a win for them would push them closer to their sixth league title in a row.
Gavin Hunt’s United will have to bring back the hopes of catching Downs on top but they definitely know it won’t be an easy task.
Many coaches have stated that no league has ever won in January.
Supersport United had a good run of wins before dropping points against Golden Arrows in their 2-1 loss a week ago.
Downs are the highest-scoring team in the league (32 goals) and a win would take them to 43 points.
Matsatsantsa are the second-highest-scoring team (20 goals) and a win would take them to 30 points and cut the gap to 10 points.
Sundowns XI: Williams, Modiba, Mudau, De Reuck, Mvala, Mokoena, Zwane, Allende, Maema, Sirino, Mailula.
Subs: Onyango, Ngobeni, Shalulile, Ralani, Kekana, Mbule, Mkhulise, Saavedra, Kutumela
