Squads & Team News
Themba Zwane is Sundowns’ man of the moment so far this season after managing seven PSL goals in as many league matches.
After the attacker was rested for Downs’ last league match away at Golden Arrows, he is expected to be back for the Galaxy assignment together with Kermit Erasmus, who has not featured in Masandawana’s last two games.
The Botswana champions could be in for a torrid afternoon if Zwane combines with Erasmus and Peter Shalulile to complete an attacking partnership that has terrorised PSL defences.
In the Arrows game, Sundowns coaches also rested other key players like captain Hlompho Kekana and Rivaldo Coetzee, who could also be given a run on Tuesday.
