Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to get back to winning ways when they
host Egyptian giants Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League on Saturday
afternoon. The South African side are second in Group B after drawing 2-2
with Al Ahly two weeks ago in Cairo.
Sundowns’ last outing was seven days ago when they played to a 1-1 draw
against Stellenbosch FC, ending their 16-game winning run in the league.
Al Ahly, meanwhile, got their campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over
Coton Sport last weekend, their first win in the group phase.
