TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns have named their starting line-ups for this evening’s Betway Premiership encounter at Mbombela Stadium.
The Rockets have gone 13 league games without a win, enduring nine losses with four draws and find themselves in 12th place, safe from relegation and just one point away from avoiding promotion playoffs.

Bernard Parker is the interim coach of Galaxy after Adnan Beganovic was shown the door just a few days before the Nedbank Cup final which they lost to Durban City by 2-1.
Meanwhile, Sundowns will finish their domestic season this evening before any other team, and they will aim to get maximum points.
The defending league champions are currently three points clear at the top and a win tonight will see them extend the gap to six points, but because of goal difference, Orlando Pirates will clinch the league title if they win all their remaining games.
Masandawana are without Khuliso Mudau and Jayden Adams, who are both serving a suspension after accumulating bookings while Galaxy will do duty minus influential midfielder Tshepo Kakora who will be forced to watch from the sidelines as he serves a one-match suspension after accumulating his fourth yellow card of the season.
These two sides will face each other for the third time this season, in the first round Sundowns walked away with three points winning by 1-0. Four months later, Galaxy knocked Sundowns out of the Nedbank Cup beating them by 2-0 in the Round of 16.
