Mamelodi Sundowns and Stellenbosch have confirmed their starting line-ups for this evening’s DStv Premiership fixture at Loftus Stadium.
Both teams are set to play their fifth league game of the season, and while Sundowns are currently fourth, four places ahead of Stellies, it is the visitors who will be out to protect their unbeaten record.
There have been seven previous meetings between the two clubs, with Sundowns having won five, Stellenbosch one, and there has been one draw.
That one victory for Stellies came last season, as they shocked the league champions 3-0 at the Tuks Stadium in May. The draw also came last season, as it ended 1-1 in Stellenbosch in December last year.
There is just one change for Sundowns, with Andile Jali coming into the lineup for Siphelele Mkhulise while Steve Barker made two changes, Oshwin Andries in for the injured Lasse Sobiech, while Solly Letsoenyo replaces Sihle Nduli
Here’s how they line up:
Mamelodi Sundowns XI: Williams, Mudau, Modiba, De Reuck, B. Onyango, Jali, Mokoena, Maema, Zwane, Sirino, Shalulile.
Subs: D. Onyango, Morena, Lakay, Lebusa, Mvala, Ralani, Mailula, Mbule, Allende
Stellenbosch XI: Stephens, Van Rooyen, Basadien, De Goede, Andries, Mthethwa, Adams, Mgaga, Van Wyk, Mendieta, Letsoenyo
