A league game where Mamelodi Sundowns host Durban City comes with a situation at opposite ends of the table. The hosts lead as the table-toppers and are still unbeaten in the league, while the visitors sit 10th and only just ended a cup game in disappointment in midweek. Sundowns are unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches across all competitions and only just closed things out with a 1-0 win in the cup, while Durban City just lost 0-2 in the same competition after previously picking up wins in the Confederation Cup in two matches. The visitors' defence remains a point to watch, as they concede an unusual amount in the late part of the first half. The pattern of play is likely to be Sundowns dominating the ball and pushing forward continuously, while Durban City sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score early the game could open up, but if the visitors hold out for a long time, the game tends to finish with few goals, and that is the way this game looks to be heading.
