Surprisingly, Brandon Petersen has been omitted from the final squad. Meaning, their are NO Amakhosi players in South Africa’s squad.
Hence, the overwhelming presence of Sundowns stars following their red-hot form.
The Brazilians have scored 10 goals in their last two matches, they put five passed Africa’s most succesful club, Al Ahly (5-2) and they are on the brink of securing a record sixth consecutive Premier Soccer League title. In fact, they are one of, if not, the favourites to win this year’s CAF Champions League.
In contrast, the Soweto giants have had a mixed bag of fortunes. The Bucs managed to secure the MTN8 after eliminating Sundowns but they are now struggling to earn their place in the CAF Confederation Cup or CAFCL next season. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that The Brazilians dominate this side with Amakhosi having no players and the Bucs just three.
