Bahlabane Ba Ntwa on the other hand are yet to register maximum points this campaign after a 0-0 draw at home to rookies Kruger United before suffering a heavy 3-1 defeat away to Stellenbosch FC down in Cape Town.

Sundowns have never lost a match against Gallants and boast an unbeaten record of six wins and two draws in eight league meetings since the 2021/22 term. Last season, the Chloorkop outfit managed four points with a 1-1 draw in Limpopo and then a dominant 3-1 home win.
