Mamelodi Sundowns fixtures this month

It’s been an unexpected start for Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Coach Miguel Cardoso’s side may be at the top of the league after nine matches, six wins, three draws, and a single defeat to Golden Arrows, but their cup form raised pressure on the coach.

Now, attention turns to October, and it will be packed with pressure.

Kabo Yellow begin with a CAF Champions League clash away to Remo Stars on Sunday, 19 October, at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
