South Africa will come to a standstill on Wednesday evening during the Betway Premiership showdown between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.

The highly anticipated fixture will take place at Loftus Versfeld, with in excess of 50 000 fans expected to pack the venue for one of the biggest matches on the local football calendar.

With Amakhosi facing the Brazilians in a crucial late-season encounter, the sold-out crowd will no doubt create an electric atmosphere under the lights in Pretoria.
