Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi has only drawn six times in the Premier League season and has not lost a single game.

Against Golden Arrows in the previous round, Mamelodi lost by a score of 0-0.
Royal AM
Royal AM is struggling to stay in the Premier League. They are currently in 14th place in the relegation playoff zone. They have one game remaining against Mamelodi Sundowns and have managed to stave off direct relegation by five points. Royal AM is only behind Moroka Swallows in 13th place because of a lower goal differential. As a result, Royal AM is likely to escape the survival playoffs.
