PRETORIA – Mamelodi Sundowns return to the grand stage of the CAF Champions League tonight as they host Sudanese giants Al Hilal Omdurman at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. With the group stages reaching a critical halfway point, Coach Miguel Cardoso is expected to field a formidable “Shoeshine and Piano” lineup to secure all three points at home.
Following a professional 2-0 victory over Orbit College in midweek, the Brazilians have the luxury of returning several key stars to the starting XI. All eyes are on new signing Brayan Leon, who could make his continental debut alongside the ever-reliable Iqraam Rayners.
