Polokwane City FC and Mamelodi Sundowns have announced their respective starting line-ups ahead of their highly anticipated Betway Premiership match at Seshego Stadium.
Currently riding a three-match unbeaten streak, Rise and Shine are keen to build on their recent form against the defending league champions. A win would not only boost their morale but also see them break into the top eight bracket for the Limpopo-based side.

Following a hard-fought victory against Stellenbosch FC, City will move into fifth place with 40 points if they manage to triumph tonight against what will be a fierce clash with the Tshwane giants.
Meanwhile, Sundowns are under pressure to return to winning ways following a goalless draw against Richards Bay last Sunday. The Tshwane giants are aware that dropping points would give Orlando Pirates a significant advantage in the league standings.
Notably, Sundowns boasts the second-highest number of goals scored in the league, narrowly trailing Pirates, the current top-scoring team. Sundowns have maintained an impressive unbeaten run, spanning 16 league matches.
Historically, in their last five encounters, Sundowns have emerged victorious three times, while City have only managed one win, with one match ending in a goalless draw.
Here’s a look at how both sides square up:
PLK City Starting XI: Mathebula, Matuludi, Nkwe, Ramaja, Nkaki, Kambala, Kelepu, Maphangule, Ramabu, Dlamini, Tshabalala.
Subs:
Sundowns Starting XI: Williams, Mudau, Cupido, Ndamane, Modiba, Mokoena, Adams, Allende, Zwane, Rayners, Shalulile.
SUBS: Onynago, Kekana, Morena, Lunga, Ntsabeleng, Letlhaku, Matthews, Saleng, Mothiba.
