TS Galaxy vs Mamelodi Sundowns Preview: Kick-off time, TV channel, Squad news
The Rockets will be looking to cause another upset against the in-form Masandawana when they clash in a midweek PSL match

The Rockets hope the experience of Bernard Parker will come into play against the dangerous Downs midfield. The former Kaizer Chiefs star has played 12 games for them this season and managed a goal in the process.
Goalkeeper Vasilije Kolak must be at his best and ensure he commands his defence effectively to limit the visitors when they go for goal.
