COMMENT: Why Sundowns can easily overturn deficit against Wydad Casablanca

There is some optimism in the Mamelodi Sundowns camp heading into the second leg of the Caf Champions League semi-final clash with Wydad Casablanca.

This is despite the fact that the Brazilians are trailing 2-1 on aggregate against the 19-time Moroccan champions ahead of their return match in Tshwane.

On Saturday, Wydad will walk into the lion's den at the Lucas Moripe Stadium where the Brazilians are enjoying a 12-match unbeaten run in the competition.

The run includes a 2-1 victory over Wydad in a game which Sundowns should have won by a huge margin had they taken their chances in their Group A encounter four months ago.
