Mamelodi Sundowns are back in action this Sunday afternoon, locking horns with Golden Arrows at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in a crucial Betway Premiership fixture.
This marks the third meeting between the two sides this season. Most recently, Miguel Cardoso’s charges edged past Arrows on the away goals rule following a 3-3 aggregate draw in an intense MTN8 semi-final clash last weekend. Sundowns head into this encounter fresh off a 2-0 league victory over Milford FC at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday.
A win this afternoon will propel Sundowns to the summit of the Betway Premiership table, as current league leaders Orlando Pirates are occupied with CAF Champions League commitments. Meanwhile, Golden Arrows are looking to bounce back and solidify their position as they sit eighth in the standings.
