Lamontville Golden Arrows and Mamelodi Sundowns have announced their starting line-ups for this evening’s DStv Premiership encounter at Princess Magogo Stadium.
Abafana Bes’thende has a chance to cement their place in the top eight when they welcome already-crowned champions Sundowns.
The KwaZulu Natal-based side has lost only one league game in the last five matches and collected 10 points out of a possible 15.
Co-coaches Vusimuzi Vilakazi and Mabhuti Khenyeza aim to finish in a better place than last season when Arrows ended in ninth position and failed to qualify for the MTN8 on goal difference.
Downs, meanwhile, have failed to score back-to-back league games for the first time this season, drawing twice since they were confirmed as champions with Rulani Mokwena’s side playing a goalless draw against Cape Town City last week Tuesday before also collecting a goalless draw against Swallows FC away from home over the weekend.
The 2022/23 DStv Premiership champions want to keep the momentum going as they still have the Nedbank Cup quarter-final and CAF Champions League quarter-final to play.
Downs have been dominating this fixture having scored 12 goals in the last four meetings, including six goals in a home fixture on this day last year, which ultimately cost coach Lehlohonolo Seema his job, while Arrows only netted once over this run.
Here is how they line up:
Arrows XI: Mlungwana , Ndlovu, Cele ,Mantshiyane ,Nxadi, Dube, Dlamini, Ndwandwe, Moon, Mutizwa, Lunga
Subs: Mbatha, Shitolo, Mhlongo, Nkosi, Magawana, Khumalo, Fikizolo, Sibiya, Magubane
Sundowns XI: Williams, Kekana, Ngobeni, Abdelmounaim, de Reuck, Zungu, Allende, Mkhulise, Domingo, Mailula, Ahmed
Subs: D.Onyango, B.Onyango, Mashego, Mbule, Maboe, Nkosi, Mabena, Sirino, Shalulile
