Masandawana are second in the league standings with 32 points after 15 matches, while the Buccaneers sit at the summit of the log with 38 points after 16 matches so far.
Allende says this will be a crucial game for them because they are targeting the Betway Premiership title, among other trophies they want to win this season.
They are also still competing in the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Champions League.
“It’s a nice game, big one also because it’s very important for the league,” said Allende.
“We are Sundowns, we want to win everything, we want to win the league and all the cups.
“Now [Saturday], is time to enjoy the victory [against MC Alger].”
