  • Thapelo Morena, Mamelodi Sundowns

    RIGHT-BACK: Thapelo Morena

    He was on target against Sekhukhune and could be rewarded with a starting spot, although Khuliso Mudau is back.

  • Asekho Tiwani, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    LEFT-BACK: Asekho Tiwani

    Aubrey Modiba is suspended while Terrence Mashego is in the Bafana Bafana Chan camp and Divine Lunga is an injury concern. This presents Tiwani with a chance to start.

  • Lucas Suarez, Mamelodi Sundowns, February 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Lucas Suarez

    The Argentine scored his first ever goal for Sundowns against Sekhukhune and that was a big boost going into the big game against Amakhosi.

  • Grant Kekana, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Grant Kekana

    Kekana is a player cut for such big games and can be trusted to rise and become rock-solid at the back.

  • Teboho Mokoena, Mamelodi Sundowns

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Teboho Mokoena

    Another big-match player, Mokoena can hurt Amakhosi with his long shots.

  • Marcelo Allende, Mamelodi Sundowns & To Carneiro, AS FAR, January 2025.BackPagePix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Marcelo Allende

    The hard-running midfielder is a grafter who can help the Brazilians dominate Chiefs in the middle of the park.

  • Jayden Adams, Mamelodi Sundowns, February 2025.BackPagePix

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Jayden Adams

    The former Stellenbosch star has cemented his place in this Masandawana team since arriving at Chloorkop in January.

  • Iqraam Rayners, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    LEFT ATTACKER: Iqraam Rayners

    Currently on nine league goals, Rayners is chasing the PSL Golden Boot award and that could motivate him against Amakhosi.

  • Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Mamelodi Sundowns, February 2025.BackPagePix

    RIGHT ATATCKER: Lucas Ribeiro Costa

    Costa scored against Sekhukhune to go two goals clear on the top-scorers' chart.
