PRE-MATCH WARM-UP: MASANDAWANA, USUTHU KICK OFF THE NEW SEASON

Friday, 20 August, 2021

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS V AMAZULU

The two sides head into the opening clash of the DStv Premiership as the top two sides of last season's league campaign, after Usuthu finished as runners' up.

The two teams have suffered different fortunes in the MTN 8 recently, with Masandawana advancing to the semi-finals via penalties, after squandering a 2-0 lead against Kaizer Chiefs.

However, Amazulu exited the MTN 8 after meekly surrendering a late goal to Cape Town City star Mduduzi Mdantsane who ensured the Cape-based side walked away with a 2-1 win.

Both sides will have to worry about solidifying their defensive performances last week after conceding twice in their respective clashes.

Usuthu have not beaten Ka Bo Yellow since January 2019, drawing once and losing the other three clashes with the Tshwane giants since then.
