A 1-0 home defeat to Cape Town City in round 30 of the PSL ended their hopes of an invincible season. A 2-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates followed in the cup final.

This season began with a 1-0 win in extra time vs Polokwane City in the MTN8. Sundowns played 37 minutes with ten men.

Goalkeeper Denis Onyango is suspended and Ronwen Williams is injured. Jody February could start in goal.

New signing Kegan Johannes is injured in defence. Veteran playmaker Themba Zwane may be recalled to the XI.

Stellies finished third last term despite some late-season defeats. They have won all three fixtures this season so far.

After going 26 matches unbeaten, they lost four of their next five fixtures. The season ended with three defeats in a row from rounds 28 to 30.
