Mamelodi Sundowns' 13-game winning run will be on the line when they host high-flying Sekhukhune United on Saturday afternoon.
DStv Premiership
Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v Sekhukhune United
Date: 28 January 2023
Venue: Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Time: 19h30
Sundowns extended their record of consecutive victories to 13 matches after edging TS Galaxy 2-1 on Tuesday thanks to goals by Rushine De Reuck and Peter Shalulile.
Rulani Mokwena's charges also stretched their lead to 19 points at the top of the table and they could breach the 50-point mark if they beat Sekhukhune.
If there was a team to give Sundowns' winning run a test, on current form, it is Sekhukhune, who have won their last four matches after edging Swallows 1-0 just over a week ago.
Under new coach Brandon Truter, Babina Noko are unbeaten after collecting 13 points from a possible 15 and they have had huge leap on the table, up to fifth and already in contention for continental places.
The visitors will still be without new signing Kamohelo Mokoto, as Siya sources have indicated that the midfielder has not received his international clearance for the Major League Soccer.
Sekhukhune are one of the few teams who have denied Sundowns a three-point haul this season after holding them to a 1-1 draw in the reverse.
