Mamelodi Sundowns will be at home for their opening match of the Caf Champions League group stage against Petro de Luanda.
The Brazilians fell at the semi-final stage last season and will want to go a step further this time around.
With this being their home match, Pitso Mosimane would want to see his side collect maximum points and send a strong statement to familiar foes Wydad Casablanca who are also strong favourites to advance to the knockout stages.
Petro de Luanda are a closed book to Sundowns but they know how Mosimane's team plays and what to expect from them which could prompt the technical team to tweak their tactics to avoid being caught off guard.
