Downs to face Zim side in friendly

Cape Town - Mamelodi Sundowns are set to face Zimbabwean outfit FC Platinum as they continue their preparations for the second half of the Premiership campaign.

Pitso Mosimane's charges have set-up their pre-season camp in the North West and will face the Zimbabwean Premier League runners-up in a friendly in Rustenburg on Saturday.

"FC Platinum will play against Sundowns in Rustenburg." M Sport Management’s Michael Ngobeni told Soccerladuma.

"It’s a friendly game that will take place on Saturday. It’s promising to be a very competitive game," he concluded.

The Brazilians occupy seventh spot on the table, six points adrift of leaders SuperSport United, however, the Brazilians have five games in-hand due to their involvement in the CAF Champions League last year.

Due to the need to catch up on games Sundowns face a busy fixture list that will see them play 8 games in 31 days starting with a league clash against Bloemfontein Celtic at the Dr Molemela Stadium on February 8.

Kick off is at 19:30.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
