Sundowns are coming into this encounter undefeated in Group B and they will put one foot in the knockout phase if they defeat the North African giants.Here, GOAL discusses five reasons why Downs will overcome Al Ahly.

Why Al Ahly are set to lose in Tshwane

The Tshwane giants boast of an impressive home record in the Champions League having lost just once in their last 31 matches as the hosts.The defeat came against Algerian side CR Belouizdad in 2021 with Sundowns having rested their key players as they had already booked their place in the knockout phase.Sundowns are undefeated in their last eight home matches - winning six games and drawing two, and they will be confident of overcoming Al Ahly.

Sundowns' impressive home record

The North African giants have won just two of their last eight matches on the road - losing twice and drawing four.This includes a 1-0 loss to Sundowns in last season's group stage encounter at FNB Stadium courtesy of Peter Shalulile's solitary goal.Furthermore, Al Ahly succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Sudan's Al Hilal Omdurman in their last away match on February 18.

Al Ahly's poor away record

Peter Shalulile and Cassius Mailula are among the most in-form strikers in African football and Al Ahly will be wary of the deadly duo.The Sundowns stars combined brilliantly when Shalulile opened the scoring against the Red Eagles in Egypt last month and North African giants struggled to contain them.Shalulile and Mailula have scored 29 goals between them this term and they will be confident of scoring when they face the Cairo giants.

Shalulile & Mailula factor

The recent draw against Stellenbosch FC should serve as a wake-up call for the reigning PSL champions.Sundowns saw their 15-match winning run in the PSL come to an end and coach Rhulani Mokwena felt that conceding in the 1-1 draw was a blessing in disguise. The Tshwane giants will now be determined to improve and make sure that they bounce back to winning ways.

Stellenbosch draw a wakeup call

One of Al Ahly's best players and most outstanding player in their run to last season's Champions League final, Tau is struggling for form at the moment.The Bafana Bafana international is currently enduring a nine-match goal drought and he is yet to provide an assist in this season.Sundowns were able to neutralise Tau in Cairo last month and they will be confident of containing the 28-year-old once again.
