Mamelodi Sundowns and Chippa United have announced their starting lineups for the highly anticipated Betway Premiership match at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
This clash was supposed to be played on April 28th, but Sundowns and Chippa agreed to bring the fixture forward.
Sundowns are currently on an eight-match winning streak and have scored 17 goals, conceding only four goals.
They find themselves in second place with 50 points after 21 games, just one point behind league leaders Orlando Pirates.
Chippa, on the other hand, are having a rough patch, having gone four games without a win, with two draws and two losses.
The Chili Boys have scored three goals in the last four games and conceded seven goals, which is unlike them. A win for Sundowns would see them go top of the table.
For Chippa, a rare win it would take them to 12th place and at least give them a breathing space between them and the relegation zone.
In the last 10 league meetings between the two sides, Sundowns won eight, and two ended as draws, but the Chili Boys will draw inspiration from their first-round draw against the league defenders early in August last year.
Here’s how both teams line-up:
Sundowns Starting XI: Williams (c), Mdunyelwa, Kekana, Cupdio, Modiba, Adams, Allende, Ntsabeleng, Santos, Matthews, Rayners
Subs: Onyango, Johannes, Mudau, Lunga, Mokoena, Zwane, Letlhaku, Leon, Mothiba
Chippa Starting XI: Msibi, Madingwana, Majadiboudu, Mobara, Sam, Kammies, Mosele, Konqobe, Modise, Matrose, Kwayiba
Subs: Sithole, Mauchi, Figareido, Ntsundwana, Seabi, Mfecane, Eva Nga, Bonani, Sithole
