Amakhosi have made a dream start under coach Nasreddine Nabi, winning all three of their opening games and keeping clean sheets in each of them. It’s the club’s best start in a decade, and fans will be hoping their team can keep that run going against the toughest opponents in the league.
Sundowns, meanwhile, will want to show why they’re still the team to beat. After crashing out of the MTN8 on penalties against Orlando Pirates, the Brazilians will be determined to bounce back and send out a statement.
