Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi admits his galaxy of stars hold the advantage in the MTN8 second leg semi-final match against Lamontville Golden Arrows, but cautioned that the unpredictable nature of the KwaZulu-Natal club makes them dangerous opponents.
Sundowns hold all the aces having scored a crucial away goal in the 1-1 draw in the first leg in Clermont and will need an outright win at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Tuesday to complete the job and advance to the final of the R8m tournament.
“We know we are playing against a very organised team but we have a responsibility at Sundowns to try and take the team to the final. They drew 2-2 against TS Galaxy and AmaZulu and were held to 1-1 draw against Sekhukhune United at Ellis Park over the weekend. “That is probably where most of their unpredictability comes from because with youngsters they are very inconsistent, but when it comes to big games they tend to raise their game to another level.
