Mamelodi Sundowns are hitting the road! Bafana Ba Style is heading to Polokwane to face Magesi FC at the Seshego Stadium this Wednesday. After a tough 1-1 draw in the MTN8, Sundowns are hungry for a win. Kick-off is at 19H30 and you can catch all the action live on SuperSport TV.
Can Sundowns Break Their Away Drought?
Sundowns haven't secured a victory on the road yet this season, making this match against Magesi even more crucial. They'll be aiming to grab all three points and boost their Betway Premiership campaign. Magesi, currently sitting in 10th place, have drawn their first two matches, proving they won't be an easy opponent.
Magesi's New Weapon: Sibanyoni
Magesi coach John Maduka is counting on former Sundowns striker Thabang Sibanyoni to make a difference. Maduka praised Sibanyoni's hard work and ability in the box, saying he's already making the defenders nervous. “He is going to help the team moving forward... his presence in the box is something else.”
Sundowns' Injury Concerns: Zwane's Status in Doubt
Sundowns are sweating over the fitness of Themba Zwane, who was stretchered off during the MTN8 match against Orlando Pirates. Coach Miguel Cardoso is awaiting a full medical assessment, hoping the injury isn't too serious. Zwane's absence would be a significant blow to Sundowns' attacking prowess.
What to Expect: A Physical Battle
Despite Magesi's limited top-flight experience, matches between these two sides are always demanding and entertaining. Arthur Sales anticipates a difficult game but is determined to score goals and secure a victory. He also encouraged fans to come out in numbers to support the team at the Seshego Stadium.
- Magesi Key Player: Kgomotso Mosadi, who scored against Stellies, will be looking to continue his form.
- Sundowns' Objective: To score as many goals as possible and secure a crucial away win.
