Mamelodi Sundowns Gear Up for Crucial Clash Against TS Galaxy
Mamelodi Sundowns are set to face TS Galaxy tonight in a highly anticipated Betway Premiership encounter at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Despite dropping points, they remain at the top of the league table, level on points with Kaizer Chiefs.
The Brazilians will be boosted by the return of midfielder Teboho Mokoena, who missed the previous match due to suspension. However, Miguel Reisinho is suspended for this game.
TS Galaxy, on the other hand, will be aiming to build on their recent 2-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC. The Rockets currently sit in seventh place and could climb as high as fourth with a win tonight.
