  • Teams: Mamelodi Sundowns v Marumo Gallants
  • Date: 16 March 2026
  • Venue: Loftus Versfeld

Sundowns were involved in CAF Champions League action over the weekend,
defeating Stade Malien 3–0 in the first leg of their quarter-final. While
they were on continental duty, title rivals Orlando Pirates were held to a
1–1 draw by Siwelele on Saturday afternoon.

Sundowns sit one point behind Pirates going into this evening’s clash,
meaning a win would see them move to the top of the table.

Gallants, meanwhile, find themselves in a precarious position, having
registered just one win in their seven league matches this year. The
Bloemfontein-based outfit, who remain without a permanent head coach,
currently sit 14th and are only above the relegation zone on goal
difference.

Here’s how they line up:

Mamelodi Sundowns:
30. Williams, 24. Cupido, 28. Mdunyelwa, 37. Johannes, 23. Basadien, 11.
Allende, 10. Santos, 7. Reisinho, 17. Matthews, 9. Sales, 12. Leon

Subs:

Onyango, 20. Kekana, 29. Lunga, 34. Ntsabeleng, 4. Mokoena, 18. Zwane, 14.

Marumo Gallants:
36. Arubi, 13. Ncube, 35. Sikhosana, 55. Agnikoi, 3. Ntiya-Ntiya, 5.
Manaka, 42. Doumbia, 18. Kunene, 39. Mabuza, 15. Ndlondlo, 23. Marou
