The MTN8 culminates in a potentially exhilarating final this weekend as Mamelodi Sundowns lock horns with Cape Town City on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Cape Town City are in 11th place in the South African Premier Division and have struggled to make an impact this season. The home side edged Golden Arrows to a 4-3 victory last week and will want to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Mamelodi Sundowns, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been exceptional this year. The Sundowns eased past Maniema Union in their previous game and will be confident going into this match.
