The latest installment of the Tshwane Derby between Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United will be played on Wednesday, a first game in the DStv Premiership for The Brazilians in two months.
Few teams have been able to go toe-to-toe with Sundowns in the last few years, but SuperSport are certainly one of them and were the last team to inflict a defeat on Rulani Mokwena’s side in the league – though that was before he became sole head coach.
The last 10 fixtures have seen six wins for Sundowns, but also two for SuperSport to go with two draws, showing the Chloorkop side have certainly not had everything their own way.
We look back at those previous 10 clashes.
