Benni McCarthy’s Cape Town City are facing the prospect of completing a second consecutive Absa Premiership double over Mamelodi Sundowns when the sides meet tonight in a top-of-the-table clash at Athlone Stadium.

City defeated Downs 1-0 in the capital city in December, which was preceded by 1-0 and 2-1 wins last season.
City’s Thabo Nodada is expecting a fierce battle as a win for Masandawana would open the gap at the top of the Absa Premiership to seven points, while victory for the home side will reduce Downs’ lead to a single point.
Midfield wizard Aubrey Ngoma could face his former employers for the first time after he turned his back on the Mother City for the capital city.
Nodada says that although City are aware of Ngoma’s weaknesses and shortcomings, it would be dangerous to focus their game plan on him.
