After drawing their last two matches, Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking forward to getting back to winning ways and keep widening the gap at the top of the DStv Premiership.
Before the FIFA break two weeks ago, Sundowns were shocked by bottom of the log Black Leopards who held them to a 2-2 stalemate.
On Friday, in the CAF Champions League they were held to a goalless draw by CR Belouizdad in Algeria, dropping points in Group B for the first time.
On Tuesday afternoon, they face yet another tricky side when they meet Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane at 3pm.
Downs is expected to tread carefully against Tshakhuma. The Polokwane side are in the relegation zone and they will fight tooth and nail to avoid the drop.
Coach Manqoba Mngqithi and company will hope that their in-form striker Peter Shalulile is wearing his scoring boots which have seen him net nine goals so far this season.
Meanwhile, in Naturena the spirit is high after Amakhosi scored their way to two great wins.
They beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 at FNB Stadium before the FIFA break and on Saturday they were victorious against Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca in the Champions League also by 1-0. On Tuesday they welcome Stellenbosch at the same venue at 5pm.
Forwards Samir Nurkovic and Bernard Parker were the two who scored in those matches and Chiefs will look at them to do the job again.
Stellies will be looking to avoid being dragged into the relegation struggle.
