Mamelodi Sundowns’ away trip sees them heading to Bloemfontein to face Marumo Gallants for a midweek fixture on Wednesday night at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium.
The Brazilians will arrive in the City of Roses with an unbeaten streak in the league, and they will be keen for three points to maintain the record against a side that currently holds the 8th position on the tally.
Masandawana come from the back of a 3-0 victory at home that saw them sail to the top of the log. Meanwhile, their Gallants counterparts have had a decent start to the season and were able to walk away with a point in their final match before the international break.
Speaking to 19-year-old Kutlwano Letlhaku, he reflected on the weekend’s encounter and expressed how much his opener meant to him.
“I was very happy to score that opener because I’ve been longing to score. I’ve been playing very well, but couldn’t get scoring opportunities. I am very happy to have helped the team win this past weekend.”
Despite Bafana Ba Style walking away with positive results, according to past results, the Bloemfontein-based side has proven to be a difficult opponent to defeat. Letlhaku emphasised this and also stated that the presence of the supporters will be of great importance in this fixture.
“We are expecting a very difficult, compact, and well-coached team. It’s going to be a difficult game, but the support from the Yellow Nation will keep us going, hoping to get a positive result. So, we encourage our Masandawana family to come out in numbers for this important game.”
Mamelodi Sundowns will go head-to-head with Marumo Gallants on Wednesday evening at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium. Kick-off has been scheduled for 19H30, live on SuperSport TV.
If we think of winning the league, let alone any cup this season, we are in our dreams. This team is playing some football that we have never seen out of this institution. I cannot think of any coach who have transform this team into a mediocre team that it is today. The game against Marumo Gallants is testimony to what a weak team it has become. Chairman, if you do not see what we are seeing, then you did not mean what you said. This guy has never lasted more time than he already did in any team. What is that telling you about him? The team is lost. No coordination, no direction, long and high balls that are not bearing any results. Where are those short passing, triangle plays and ruthless management of the game? Tjo! Haikhona.
The team does not have the spark.
