Stellies vs Sundowns Starting XIs Announced - iDiski Times

Stellenbosch FC and Mamelodi Sundowns have announced their respective starting line-ups for this evening’s highly anticipated Betway Premiership clash at the DHL Stadium.

The hosts are fresh from a morale boosting 1-0 win over Desportivo Lunda Sul in the CAF Confederation Cup at the weekend while Masandawana also picked up their first CAF Champions League group stage win this campaign to get new coach Miguel Cardoso’s reign off to a perfect start.

This tie has produced fireworks of late with the Cape Winelands outfit coming out tops in the last two meetings which was in the two-legged MTN8 semi-finals earlier this campaign.

Steve Barker’s side are currently on a seven-match unbeaten streak and shocked Orlando Pirates eSgodini with a 1-0 win to climb up to fourth position on the table, six points adrift of this evening’s opponents.

In the league, the Brazilians have won their last three encounters and sit at the summit of the pile with 21 points after eight matches played.
