    Sundowns news & squads

    Masandawana will be without left-back Aubrey Modiba who was red-carded during the quarter-final, second-leg against Stade Malien.

    But coach Miguel Cardoso might not be worrying much with Divine Lunga around to step in for Modiba.

    Winger Monnapule Saleng is back on the sidelines injured, but his absence was not felt in recent games. 

    Sundowns Possible XI: Williams, Mudau, Lunga, Kekana, Ndamane, Mokoena, Allende, Adams, Ntsabeleng, Matthews, Leon

    Head-to-head and recent form

    Esperance are unbeaten in their last 10 games across all competitions and that says a lot about their pedigree.

    For a side that eliminated Al Ahly at the quarter-final stage, it was a huge statement that Sundowns cannot ignore. 

    However, the Brazilians themselves are bubbling from a 10-match winning streak in the league.

    But their last Champions League outing was 2-0 defeat away at Stade Malien, and if they play the way they did in Mali, Esperance might have a field day.

    Cardoso will be facing his former side, Esperance, whom he eliminated at the quarter-final stage last season.
