Mamelodi Sundowns are away in Morocco to confront AS FAR Rabat in the second round of the Caf Champions League on Saturday. Hollywoodbets provides you with all the details to watch the encounter.
Sundowns players are in good form, especially the likes of Lucas Riberio, who has been the live wire for Sundowns this season.
Downs coach Manqoba Mngqithi will also be counting on the likes of Iqraam Rayners, who Mngqithi billed as one player who the club can pin their hopes on in the Champions League.
Veteran striker Peter Shalulile recently returned to good form in a lengthy slump, as he now often finds himself in the thick and thin of things in terms of scoring and scoring goals.
Shalulile has been playing in the Champions League for five seasons – he knows the ins and outs of the competition, and an on form Shalulile will be good news for Masandawana.
This will be the first time that these two sides cross paths. But Sundowns are no strangers in Morocco as they have sparked rivalry between themselves and the two-time Champions League winners Wydad Casablanca.
Sundowns recently regained control of the local Betway Premiership where they edged rivals Orlando Pirates on goal difference. This will be a confidence booster for Downs as they need to get their Group B campaign off the ground following a opening draw against Maniema Union.
Betting odds
AS FAR Rabat 29/20 | Draw 31/20 | Mamelodi Sundowns 21/10
Given Masandawana’s experience and know-how in the group stages, this makes them the favourites on paper, but on the field the stakes will consistently evolve.
