The Brazilians are back at their Loftus Versfeld home three days after they saw their 21-match league unbeaten streak come to a halt
Mamelodi Sundowns would be looking to end a three-match winless run across all competitions when they host Golden Arrows in a Premier Soccer League match on Wednesday.
Nedbank Cup elimination at the hands of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, followed by last week's 0-0 league draw against AmaZulu and then the 2-1 league defeat by Kaizer Chiefs three days ago, Sundowns are enduring difficult times.
They last experienced a three-match winless patch in January when they recorded three successive draws but despite their current form, they are still on course for a record fourth straight PSL title and are three points clear at the top of the standings.
