Mamelodi Sundowns predicted XI against Marumo Gallants

Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking for an eighth straight win in the Premier Soccer League that will lift them to top spot on the table on Tuesday.

Sundowns play at home to Marumo Gallants and a win will take their tally to 50 points from 21 matches, opening a two-point lead over Orlando Pirates.

To do that, coach Miguel Cardoso will have to make his squad selection carefully, given he has a CAF Champions League return match away to Stade Malien of Mali in Bamako at the weekend.

Afrik-Foot predicts how Mamelodi Sundowns are likely to lineup.

Goalkeeper: Ronwen Williams

The Sundowns No.1 has been impressive in goal and will likely retain his place.

Right-back: Thapelo Morena

Khuliso Mudu is suspended for this match and so Thapelo Morena could get a rare start.

Left-back: Fawaaz Basadien

With Aubrey Modiba suspended, the former Stellenbosch star is likely to be recalled after starting against Orbit College.

Centre-back: Keagan Johannes

Cardoso is likely to rest Grant Kekana for the Champions League game, handing an opportunity to Keagan Johannes.

Centre-back: Keano Cupido

Khulumani Ndamane is also likely to get a rest with an eye on Champions League and Keano Cupido could be the beneficiary.

Central midfield: Marcelo Allende

The Chilean has been impressive off the bench but is in line for a start given Cardoso could rest Teboho Mokoena.

Central midfield: Miguel Reisinho

The Portuguese midfielder has not been getting starts recently but this is a game he is likely to start.

Attacking midfield: Arthur Sales

The Brazilian performed well against Orbit College and is in line for a run in the team against Gallants.

Got his first start against his ex-side Orbit College and his quick feet will be perfect against Gallants on the right wing, cutting in on his strong left foot.
