Mamelodi Sundowns will take on one of the continent’s most successful clubs Al Ahly on Saturday, throwing up arguably the biggest test for the Tshwane giants in this year’s Caf Champions League.
Historically Al Ahly have dominated Sundowns in the competition with their first meeting dating back to the 2001 final, but with a place in the semi-final at stake and Pitso Mosimane’s men determined to utilise home ground advantage, an absolute thriller is expected at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.
Meanwhile, Sundowns’ poor domestic record at home will be noted, but on the continent, they have made Tshwane a fortress, winning all their home games this season.
