The Brazilians are back in action four days after extending their winning streak in the Premier Soccer League to 13 games

Mamelodi Sundowns host Sekhukhune United at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday seeking to widen the gap between them and the chasing pack.

They face a team that has been enjoying some good form of late and need to be at their very best.
