Mamelodi Sundowns 'don't Want To Be Surprised' By Sibanye Miners, Says Miguel Cardoso

Mamelodi Sundowns will take a break from the cut-throat competition as they make their bow in this seasons Nedbank Cup on Sunday at Loftus Versfeld 6pm kick-off.

Their opponents will be Sibanye Golden Stars, a third-tier team from the Free State ABC Motsepe League, and one of eight amateur teams in the last 32 round.

This showdown will be a far cry from what Sundowns dealt with since the start of January.

In 18 days, the Brazilians played four times, and two matches were played in Morocco and DR Congo.

Three of the matches were CAF Champions League fixtures, and the remaining one was a Premiership encounter against relegation-doomed Magesi FC on Wednesday.
