Lehlohonolo Seema’s men were defeated 3-1 by the reigning Premiership champions in the MTN8 quarter-finals, and went to record a goalless draw at Baroka in their next fixture.
Sundowns, meanwhile, will be high on confidence after a comfortable 4-0 triumph over Otoho d’Oyo in the CAF Champions League at the weekend, a result that secured a 5-2 aggregate victory and a place in the final qualifying round.
However, Downs were held to a 1-1 home draw by Cape Town City in their most recent Premiership encounter, leaving them with five points on the board following their first three league games.
