Three days after securing the Premier Soccer League title, Mamelodi Sundowns host Cape Town City at Loftus Versfeld.
The two sides met in the opening match of the season last August and Sundowns won 2-0 in the Mother City in a game they announced their title ambitions. City would be pushing to become the first team to beat Sundowns since October 2022. Coach Erick Tinkler will be hoping the long layoff period will not affect their momentum as they went for recess on a high with three wins and a draw in their last four matches. But before kickoff, City will become the first team to give Sundowns a guard of honour in recognition of the Tshwane giants’ league triumph. Having dropped 10 points in this campaign, Sundowns currently have 59 points and at this stage of the season last term, they had picked up 51. It is a match Sundowns are playing for prestige and to break their previous records.
