STATS: Downs' fatigue issues ahead of R1 billion blockbuster
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 12: Mamelodi Sundowns celebrate their victory during the Nedbank Cup, Quarter Final match between University of Pretoria and Mamelodi Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium on April 12, 2024 in Pretoria, South Africa.
However, from a sporting perspective, there is enough evidence to suggest that juggling too many competitions within a short period of time has affected them in the past and at present. They overturned that result in the second leg at home after the PSL postponed their midweek fixture against AmaZulu FC, and were able to be crowned champions.
In comparison, the North African opposition and other teams on the continent hardly have midweek fixtures before Champions League matches, as is the case with Esperance, who were well rested before the semi-final first leg and again had the whole week of rest and preparation ahead of the second leg on Friday.
