Golden Arrows and Mamelodi Sundowns have revealed their starting lineups for tonight’s Betway Premiership encounter at Hammarsdale Stadium in Mpumalanga.
Arrows announced the return of Manqoba Mngqithi after over a decade since he left the side, and the former Sundowns mentor faces his former team which could end up in him ending their four-match winning streak.
The KwaZulu-Natal-based side have struggled to find results in the past four games, losing two and drawing two as they currently sit in 11th place
Sundowns, on the other hand, aim to continue with their winning streak and keep putting pressure on second-placed Orlando Pirates, who are currently 18 points behind.
The defending champions have lost only two matches out of the 20 they’ve played in the league, winning 18. They have scored 47 goals, which id more than any other team in the league.
