Rhulani Miokwena’s side has a number of injuries to key players like Themba Zwane, Thapelo Maseko, Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Teboho Mokoena and Grant Kekana.
But the coach has been preferring to rest other regulars, probably to have some fresh legs in the Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates after a taxing season.
GOAL predicts how Sundowns could line up against Royal AM.
Mokwena’s decision to rest Ronwen Williams in favor of Onyango, who is still experienced in matches, makes sense.The tenacious wing-back poses a constant danger and can be a challenge to Thabo Matlaba of Royal AM.
The Bafana Bafana defender may be essential to Sundowns’ efforts to finish the season undefeated by maintaining tightness at the back.Against Royal AM last Saturday, the injury-prone versatile player and Mvala forged a strong defensive tandem.
The previous time they played, Mkhulise and Mbule worked well together in the middle of the park, and Mkhulise was named Man of the Match, which gives him motivation for Tuesday’s game.
Due of Matthews’ lightning-fast speed, Royal AM defenses may need to come up with a strategy to stop him.
